View eastwards, towards Guide Bridge and Hadfield, formerly to Sheffield Victoria via Woodhead: ex-GCR Manchester - Sheffield main line, electrified 1954 but since 1970 cut back to local services - see other Woodhead Line scenes for details. The photograph was taken from a train out of Manchester Piccadilly on the ex-LNW main line to Stockport, Crewe etc. (electrified in 1960). Unseen to the left was the ex-L&Y loop on viaduct to Philip's Park. There were no platforms at Ardwick on the ex-LNW line, but the footbridge led from the station entrance on Devonshire Street.
