    Looking into the station throat and to the left is 150211 forming 2H69 1452 Marple to Piccadilly. Then a pair of class 185 sets pass with 185106 working 1E84 1427 Liverpool Lime Street to Scarborough and 185133 diagrammed on 1C54 Manchester Airport to Barrow in Furness. Hiding almost out of view is a class 175 Coradia unit in the turnback siding.
    Pendolino 390049 departs Piccadilly for London Euston at 1515 as 1A47.  The electric unit was very quiet with the wheels making all the noise.
    Pacer unit 142003 approaches from the east towards the through lines with a class 2 working, 2F87 1503 off Manchester Airport to Southport.
