circa 1960
"Bold departure from convention at Oxford Rd station, Manchester". Taken from an article on the Manchester - Crewe AC electrification and modernisation that appeared in the October 1960 British Transport Commission magazine "Transport Age" and highlighting this important scheme that helped lay the foundation for much of the later electrification and modernisation work undertaken by British Railways. As part of this work the station of the south side of Manchester city centre, at Oxford Road, was reconstructed using a very contemporary architectural style with the old buildings replaced by the current largely timber structure by architects W.R. Headley and Max Glendinning and structural engineer Hugh Tottenham. It is now Grade 2 Listed and is seen here with both overhead wires and a BRC&W DMU. Scan and notes courtesy of Mike Ashworth.
