Needs more history
This route is so 'obvious' that I looked in the history to see why the two Manchester stations weren't been linked a 100 years ago. I suspect it was because of rival rail companies but as a reader I'm left guessing. Would someone add it please? --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 12:07, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
 * 100 years ago Manchester had rather more than two: but there were other connecting lines. See this diagram: the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway (in blue) had a route from Victoria to Piccadilly (then named London Road) via Miles Platting, Ancoats Jc and Ardwick Jc. -- Red rose64 (talk) 17:07, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I replaced the jpg with svg- but doubt if either are true representations. But it will be easy to fix now.--ClemRutter (talk) 14:05, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
