1 The line between Manchester, Oxford Road and
Manchester, London Road is not shown, the implication being that it was not
in use due to the then ongoing electrification of the Manchester to Crewe
line and the rebuilding of the bridge over London Road. The mileage is,
however, shown in the Sectional Appendix and, for ease of navigation, I have made the link
'live'.
2. This was a curve that ran to Skelton Junction on the C.L.C.
line from Woodley to Glazebrook.
Notes
When the Great Western Railway was attempting to gain access to
Manchester, they initially gained running powers over the Warrington and
Stockport Railway to Timperley Junction. Although never exercised, this meant
that the MAJ&A nearly played host to a Manchester to Paddington service.
