The remaining connection at the west end of the station, leading off to Stockport. Until the early 1980s, this was a four-track railway, with multi-track junctions both left and right, all busy with freight. Recession, heavy industry's decline and catastrophic railway strikes in 1982 and 1984 changed the infrastructure utterly. For a view 25 years on, see: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3676972.
