Brindle Heath 104

The 14.30 Sundays only Manchester Victoria to Southport train, formed of two BRCW class 104 'white stripe' dmus, passes Brindle Heath Junction on it's way out of Manchester. The empty area in the foreground once housed Agecroft MPD. A faded sign on the remains of the fence still exhorted trainspotters not to enter

The bridge originally carried the L&Y's fast lines over the slow allowing a somewhat more favourable gradient for the fast lines up to Pendlebury 1;84 as against the 1:58 of the slow lines.
