Nearest the camera is is the lowest of the four nineteenth century railway viaducts that cross the Bridgewater Canal at Giant’s Basin.
This arched Gothic viaduct was the first to be constructed and it was opened in 1849 by the Manchester South Junction and Altrincham Railway (MSJ&AR). The line was later extended to Liverpool and remains the main link between Manchester and Liverpool. It is Grade II-listed.
The Manchester, South Junction & Altrincham Railway was a joint line set up in the late 19th century between the Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway (later the Great Central) and the London & North Western Railway. Joint ownership continued after the 1923 Grouping, the partners now being the LNER and LMS. It was a busy commuter line, serving prosperous Cheshire communities, including Sale, thus prompting it to be electrified at 1500 V DC between Manchester London Road and Altrincham.
New rolling stock entered service in 1931, built by Metropolitan-Cammell. The 3-car sets were similar to the LMS stock on the third-rail Watford Line service. By the time of this view, the MSJ&A sets were life expired and due for replacement. This entailed the conversion of the Altrincham route to 25kV, integrating the route with the rest of the London Midland region electrified network. AM4 (Class 504) EMUs took over from May 1971.
This view of a veteran MSJ&A unit was taken at Oxford Road, the line’s Manchester terminus since 1960.
In 1992, the Altrincham line was converted to a light rail operation as the first stage in the development of the Manchester Metrolink network.

Back in time. An MSJ&A service from Altrincham to Manchester, Oxford Road rolls to a stop at Navigation Road station. The 2x3car units (LMS designed, built by Metropolitan-Cammell) were operating on 1500V DC although the old diamond pattern pantographs had been replaced by 25KV AC Stone Faiveley pattern ones.
In 1971 the line was converted to 25KV AC and Class 304 emus replaced the MSJ&A ones.
Today the nearest line is Network Rail and the line the train is on is the Metrolink tram track. Both lines are bi-directional of course.

Designed and developed by Herbert Austin and Stanley Edge at Austin's home in Lickey Grange, (independant of the Austin Motor Company), in order to discover a new market for Austin cars. At first rejected by the Austin board production only began after Herbert Austin threatened to take the design to rivals Wolseley
The Austin Seven was introduced in 1923 with regular updates until final production in 1939. Initially introduced with a 696cc engine. Before the 747cc engine became standard with a top speed of aroind 50mph and 50mpg fuel consumption, the model was so successful it virtually wiped out most other light cars. The Seven had four wheel brakes (handbrake on the front, footbrake on the rear) until coupled in July 1930, it gained an electric starter in 1923, coil ignition and nickelled radiator in late 1928 and ball gearchange in 1929..
TheAustin Seven RP was the last of the box type Saloons, produced October 1932 until July 1934 when they were replaced by the Austin Seven Ruby. It has four forward plus one reverse gear with syncromesh on 3rd and 4th. and has 6 volt coil ignition electrics with an electric starter
This car is affectionately known as Rose by its owners and is based in Ardrishaig, Argyll, Scotland and is in regular use as the families second car for shopping pic-nics ect. She has recently undergone restoration work to the rear end, all four wings, the doors have been reframed and reskinned and the windscreen changes. Mechanical work included a rebuilt rear axle, new springs, brake drums and attention to the brakes, shockers rebuilt, and steering done.
When new in 1933 she cost £ 128 for the four seat Saloon version, the engine size of 747.5cc put her in the 8hp fiscal bracket with a yeares taxation costing £ 8, petrol was priced at seven and a half pence per gallon ( one shilling and five pence) and she covered 40 miles to the gallon.
