class 504 Man Vic 8-5-87
The class 504 Manchester - Bury units were unique in that they operated on a 1200 V dc side-contact third rail system. The line is now part of Manchester Metrolink but for 35-odd years, the 504s faithfully bounced their way between Manchester and Bury, hardly noticed by anyone - until they were gone. Here a set leaves Manchester Victoria on 8 May 1987.
