Answer 10

Liverpool Road was Manchesters first main station, and it is now part of the Museum of Science and Industry.

Manchester Hunts Bank was one of the first stations, and Manchesters second main station. Hunts bank was extended and changed into Victoria station, and was owned by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. The old Hunts Bank part of the station still exists as platforms 3, 4, 5 and 6 and these used to protrude all the way out to Exchange Station, just a few hundred yards from Victoria. All that is left of Exchange is the footbridge, which is now used to gain access to the railway by Nat Rail staff.

London Road was another main station, apart from the name change into Piccadilly and the rebuilding of some of the main structures, not much has changed on this station. The LMS, LNER, LNWR, GWR, GNR all ran into this station.

Central Station was operated by the Great Northern and Cheshire Line Commitee, this is now the GMEX arena.
