Urmston Station - Manchester platform
Image: © Peter Whatley Taken: 15 Oct 1988
The principal platform in terms of use, but only provided with a minor structure when built. Since 1988, the station facilities have changed completely with a new ticket office provided at street level on this side of the station and the structure shown in the picture replaced with a "greenhouse" design. The train photographed was operating a shuttle service to and from Warrington, the line east from Urmston being shut due to major track and resignalling work around Manchester Piccadilly station.
