Urmston station
A classic Cheshire Lines Committee railway station, still very much in use by British Rail when photographed. However, the building's days as a railway facility were numbered, not least as its position on the Liverpool-bound side of the station was inconvenient for both staff and passengers, the latter being foremost commuters into Manchester using the opposite side of the station. For a 2009 view of the same building, see: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1493469

Prairie Schooner
A good outlet for real ale. However it was serving a strawberry milkshake beer, and there is something not right about that. I didn't try it.

Urmston Station - Manchester platform
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.
