Photographic notes
There is a footbridge immediately north of the station which gives good views of trains heading towards Manchester especially dinner time to early afternoon. Late afternoon the sun starts to favour north bound trains heading through the station. The footbridge can be reached by the public footpath which goes through the station car park and out at the north end of it.
