Talk:Manchester Oxford Road railway station

Wrong station
Reference to "old station" removed - this was Liverpool Road station, which has nothing to do with Oxford Road Station and was closed to passengers in 1844. The old Oxford Road station occupied the same site as the present one and was rebuilt in the 1950s.

Cats
" It is also patrolled by a "team" of seven cats who perform vermin control duties." - Whoever added this text made me smile. I remember these cats well. Xanucia 22:32, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Passenger Numbers
There appears to be an error in passenger numbers in the table. It is most unlikely that the last year's figure should be about seven times the previous year. Can correct figures be provided for the three years, please? RuthAS (talk) 21:40, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The system for counting passenger numbers at stations in station groups changed in 2006/7. I'm not sure entirely what this change entailed, but it results in much higher passenger numbers being shown. For a more extreme example, see passenger numbers at Gainsborough Central :-) JCzech (talk) 01:18, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Cats
the cats reference has gone. Why? Surely this is an intersting (and acceptable) item for the article - no matter if it is trivial - local history etc... —Preceding unsigned comment added by FengRail (talk • contribs) 01:37, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

25kV DC?
Is this a typo/mistake? Should it be AC? SimonTrew (talk) 11:29, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Si, yes I agree that it should be AC. Thanks for the edit.--Sal73x (talk) 15:10, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

John Cooper clarke
I found this video for the song/poem Evidently chickentown by John Cooper Clarke. i don't know if this is any sort of official accompanying video but it is shot on a train as it leaves oxford road station so it may be worth looking into and including in the article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.23.56.12 (talk) 13:58, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
