Lots been said regarding old and new Manchester Victoria. Do any members remember the manic couple of hours after midnight when most of the morning news papers were printed in Manchester,and platform 11 was filled with all manner of van from Red Bank, News paper trains departed to far and wide, some had men travelling on them sorting the papers to be dropped of at the various towns en route.A gang used to travel down from York ever night I think they came from Darlington,doze on way down supper in pub and work home sorting
All the empty vans would be worked back to Red Bank during the morning. Sadly all gone long since but an aspect of Victoria not many people were aware of ,it was all done during the night. Jim.
