It is one that has featured in most books, so I guess it is
time I gave it a showing.
Chorlton Railway Station opened in 1880 and made it possible to travel on one of fifty trains into and out of the city in just 15 minutes.
The degree of the railways success can be gauged by the huge increase in the number of season tickets which were issued during the first five years. In January 1880 this had stood at 200 but by 1886 it had risen to 600.
You could work in the city but live on the edge of the countryside.
