Manchester Exchange/Victoria Station, with train
Manchester Exchange/Victoria Station, with train
View westward on the long Platform 11 that connected the two stations, with the 15.45 Liverpool Lime Street - Hull express (LNER stock, headed by Stanier Class 5 4-6-0 No. 5125) powering away from Exchange (the ex-London & North Western station) to attack the steep incline up to Miles Platting on the route, via Stalybridge, the Standege Tunnel and Huddersfield to Leeds (City), thence via Selby to Hull. To the right are the through section of Victoria Station: a scene of smoke and dirt - and noise.
