  • Formerly London Road Station. Terminus of the London & North Western Railway. Engine shed is Victorian, frontage is 1960s. Recently modernized - not badly done either.
  • Manchester's largest station. Terminus for services to London, also to Sheffield and Chester. Some trains continue west, calling at Oxford road. Also terminus of most Metrolink services.
  • Lovely station - nicely modernised while retaining it's Victorian image. Not like Birmingham's which is replaced by concrete. XD
  • Direct link to west Wales Cardiff Swansea etc
