Brewery Sidings junction, Miles Platting 1989
Looking NE from Miles Platting station, the signalbox at Brewery Sidings is in the middle distance, with Wilsons brewery's 1970s buildings on the left. In 2008, nothing recognisable is left, the whole area having become part of Manchester's urban regeneration zone, the station closed and the tracks realigned and resignalled.

View east from Monsall Metrolink station
The tram line uses what was until the 1970s the primary railway route between Manchester Victoria and Rochdale. Jocelyn Street bridge's ironwork shows that the line was originally quadruple track. Additional supporting brickwork was added as part of the project to downgrade the Manchester-Oldham-Rochdale route from trains to trams.

Monsall Tram Stop
Monsall is a new build on the line of a former dismantled heavy rail line. Taken on the first day of operation of the Metrolink extension to Oldham. As the electronic screen tells us, a tram is approaching. We are also informed that the next tram to St Werburgh's Road will be along in 14 minutes. And if the time is correct then comparing it to the information in the photograph's EXIF data the clock in my camera is 12 minutes fast (less an hour slow as it's still set to GMT).
