manchester victoria is my favourite station-i have stated this previously,i remember this station in the 70s as a child,17 platforms and through roads,even back then though the place was filthy,how can you say the station is a deserted relic?6.125 people use the station annualy-according to wikipedia,this doesnt even include tfgm travel cards,metrolink usage,1.000 people who pass through the station to jd williams catalouge upstairs near the arena entrance,you must of been at the station at a very quiet time?ok the roof is a disgrace as are the old diesel clapped out 142s,150s etc,in the last two years-new platforms on 1 and 2,new lighting on the concourse,new wind break shelters currently being built-platforms 3-6,new lighting has been installed on the same platforms,the new toilet facilities have also been opened[the old ones were a disgrace],next..a new roof,electrification,new shops,cafes,escalators,direct links to manchester airport-via piccadilly,this was once a proud station and still is..
