Summary[edit]

Description
English: West of Victoria
Looking to the west from the footbridge at the western end of Manchester Victoria Railway Station. The area in front was the site of Manchester Exchange Station* from 1884 until it closed in 1969. Little now remains as a reminder(except the red footbridge and parts of 3 platforms).

From 1929, Platform 3 of Exchange Station joined platform 11 at Victoria, creating the longest railway station platform in Europe which, at 2238 feet in length, could accommodate three trains at once.

  • Although named Manchester Exchange, the bulk of the station was actually in Salford.
