This station was a wonderfully old and photogenic location which has been totally trashed by the developers and is now a closed in location which has all the character - and similarity - of an ultra large public toilet building, without the urinals and sinks being evident. It is the same bog standard ultra modern design that so many places were adapted to once steam traction was removed. Perhaps we should consider ourselves lucky that the other end of the modernist scale wasn't imposed; bus shelter revival style and beggar all else.
I think Man Vic does actually have some toilet facilities incidentally, other than the overall image of it being a giant bog!
As for 40171, as I think it is, it is passing through and getting a run at Miles Platting bank. Not for the first time at this station, I was not using colour film and a Class 40 appeared in green livery - or what was left of it. There were not many left by this date in good old green.

20131 and 20154 drift along the goods loop at Warrington Bank Quay with a coal from either Bickershaw or Parkside collieries on a damp day in November 1990
Twenties had been drafted into the area to work such trains in the mid 80's and as such this was an everyday scene.
