Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Site of the Former Manchester Exchange Station Looking to the west from the footbridge at the western end of Manchester Victoria Railway Station. In the 10 months since SJ8398 : Site of Manchester Exchange Station was taken, overhead gantries have been added in preparation for electrification of the line to Liverpool. At one time Manchester Victoria Station was connected across Victoria Street to Exchange Station which was built by the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) in 1884. Following an extension to Exchange’s Platform 3 in 1929, taking it across the bridge to join Victoria’s Platform 1, the joint platform extended for 670 metres between the two stations, making it the longest passenger railway platform Europe; so long that it could accommodate three trains at once. Exchange Station closed in 1969 and was subsequently demolished; its services were transferred to Victoria. Most of its site opposite the cathedral is now a car park although some features can still be seen in this photograph including part of the joint platform and part of the trackbed, but the passenger footbridge, which can be seen in SJ8398 : Manchester Exchange, has now been removed. Although called Manchester Exchange, the bulk of the station was to the west of the Irwell, putting it in Salford. |
