circa 1959
Reconstruction work at Manchester London Road station c1959. A grainy scan from the Transport Age magazine issued by the BTC on the Manchester - Crewe electrification scheme that formed the start of the wider WCML electrification. It shows what was then London Road station, it was re-named Piccadilly on 12/9/60. These major works saw the shortening of the two Victorian train sheds as can be clearly seen here. The general messiness of the works - with passengers making their way around heaps of rubble is a far cry from today's building sites! A relatively modern BRC&W DMU sits under partially complete overhead gantries for the 25kv AC scheme - on the far side of the station would be the 1500v DC overhead of the Sheffield lines. In the bottom right is a propped up sign for "Mayfield Station" - the overspill and relief platforms, mostly for suburban services, that closed to passengers in 1960. Scan and notes courtesy of Mike Ashworth. British Railways.

circa 1960
"Bold departure from convention at Oxford Rd station, Manchester". Taken from an article on the Manchester - Crewe AC electrification and modernisation that appeared in the October 1960 British Transport Commission magazine "Transport Age" and highlighting this important scheme that helped lay the foundation for much of the later electrification and modernisation work undertaken by British Railways. As part of this work the station of the south side of Manchester city centre, at Oxford Road, was reconstructed using a very contemporary architectural style with the old buildings replaced by the current largely timber structure by architects W.R. Headley and Max Glendinning and structural engineer Hugh Tottenham. It is now Grade 2 Listed and is seen here with both overhead wires and a BRC&W DMU. Scan and notes courtesy of Mike Ashworth. British Railways.
