Coal for Fiddlers Ferry

The clock on the former booking office on platform 12/13 at Manchester Victoria tells us that it's 6.30pm as 56092 rumbles through with an mgr coal train for Fiddlers Ferry power station. At one time everything visible here would have been under the overall roof, removed in stages from 1920 to 1940.

The train is taking the route which will take it through the former Exchange station

The change of gradient at the commencement of Miles Platting bank can be seen at the rear of the train.
