Today's picture shows the east-bound platform of Ashton under Lyne's railway station. The station was originally known as Charlestown station, to distinguish it from Park Parade and Oldham Road stations.
The station is on the line into Manchester's Victoria Station, and is bypassed by the Trans-Pennine Express trains, which take the line to the south of the town towards Manchester's Piccadilly Station.
The two railway lines pass on either side of an island platform that houses a waiting room and ticket office. The photo was taken during a quiet period between trains.

ReplyDeleteOn this platform I fell for Rachel.
When was the last day the Trans Pennine Train passed this way?
Me and me mates would catch it from time to time from Manchester Exchange station. The first stop would be Stalybridge, then we'd jump on a west bound train to Ashton.

ReplyDeleteBack home it is difficult to find a station this peaceful. It must thrill the mind so to be able to sit peacefully on a bench and wait for the train.
