THREE MORE RAILWAY STATIONS, BUT ONLY ONE REALLY SURVIVES

Opening in 1830, Liverpool Road was the first railway station in Manchester. The site of the station is now used by a preservation group. Here are a few items of motive power there in the 1990s.

Almost adjacent is the Science & Industry Museum with several railway exhibits.

In a nearby building is the aviation section.

There are two pubs nearby, on Liverpool Road itself. Both Cask and the White Lion serve decent beers.

Manchester Central station was once an important place, served by the Midland & Great Central railways.

Today, there's no more trains, but it's now an entertainment complex called G-Mex (Craig Sunter CC BY 2.0).

There's plenty of development happening around here.

Oxford Road is next, when there were trams.

Oxford Road station is a busy place.

Stagecoach buses were to be found outside in 2022.

At the bottom of some steps beside Oxford Road station is the Salisbury Ale House.

That's where I'll finish this post. Next time, we'll go right into the heart of the city.
