It was exactly a week ago that the "train took the strain”, or to be more accurate I met our Saul on one railway station and took the train from another to meet up with our Ben in Walkden.

Only to say Manchester Piccadilly is a station I often use, while Manchester Victoria is usually just for the trams.

But on the Wednesday, we took the train to Walkden from Manchester Victoria and used a platform I last stood on over half a century ago.
Back then it was one of the platforms to catch trains to Newcastle.
