Manchester Exchange Station
View eastwards on Platform 3, towards Victoria Station and Yorkshire destinations. Exchange was the ex-London & North Western Station, adjoining the ex-Lancashire & Yorkshire Victoria Station and connected to it by a very long extension of Platform 11 of the latter. This was a Summer Saturday, when the two stations were particularly busy; moreover in 1960 they were also handling much of the Piccadilly Station's traffic while the latter was being rebuilt for electrification. The train on the left (Platform 4), headed by a BR Standard Class 5 4-6-0, is the 15.15 to Huddersfield and Bradford; the train entering, with a 'Jubilee' class 4-6-0, was heading west (or north). Exchange Station was half destroyed in the Blitz in December 1940 and was closed in May 1969.

Old footbridge, Manchester Exchange station
In its day, Manchester Exchange was a very important station, but there is very little left now. The once-impressive approach now leads to a car park on the site of the station forecourt. Even this old bridge is out of use, presumably for safety or security reasons.
