Manchester architectural delights
The curved timber canopies at Manchester Oxford Road are a delight as well as providing the station with character. This view, looking towards Manchester Piccadilly is also notable for the terracotta clock tower in the background; this was once the Refuge Assurance building, which has since been converted to a hotel. Approaching the station is TransPennine Class 185 No. 185106 which is operating with another unidentified Class 185 DMU forming 1N64 1429 Manchester Airport-Blackpool North & Barrow-in-Furness. The train will separate at Preston and proceed to their respective destinations.
