Bus turning circle, West Didsbury
This turning circle, at the junction of Palatine Road (right) and Central Road, is the outer terminus of Stagecoach Manchester route 143 (one of the routes operated under the low cost, student orientated Magic Bus brand). Apparently designed for buses to enter at this end, load at the pavement on the left and then leave via Central Road, the 143 uses it in the opposite direction as the bus stop is now located on Palatine Road itself (the shelter can just be glimpsed under the foliage on the right).

Withington & West Didsbury railway station (site), Greater Manchester
Opened in 1880 as "Withington" by the Midland Railway on the line from Chinley to Manchester Central, this station became "Withington & Albert Park" in 1884 and finally "Withington & West Didsbury" in 1914. It closed to passengers in 1961.
View north west towards Chorlton-cum-Hardy and Manchester. The only remnant appears to be the cobbled former forecourt off Lapwing Lane. The site lies about halfway between the tram stops at Burton Road and West Didsbury on Manchester Metrolink, which was built on the course of the original railway line.
