The station throat seen from the end of platform 5/6, before electrification and modernisation work. The semaphore signals and signal box (seen in the distance) will disappear, to be replaced by LED (presumably) signals controlled from Manchester.
The track has already been lifted from platforms 7/8 (out of picture to the left).
Platforms 1/2 will be extended (out of picture to the right) to accommodate Pendolino trains (on direct services to London).
