Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Development on the Former Exchange Station Site
Looking west from the footbridge at Manchester Victoria Station. The shiny new glass-fronted buildings on the left are on the site of what was Manchester Exchange Station from 1884 until it closed in 1969. (Compare this photo with SJ8398 : West of Victoria, taken in 2012 when some parts of the old station were still visible).

From 1929, Platform 3 of Exchange Station joined platform 11 at Victoria, creating the longest railway station platform in Europe which, at 2238 feet in length, could accommodate three trains at once.

  • Although named Manchester Exchange, the bulk of the station was actually in Salford.
