If I remember correctly, that sign was on the wall at the top of the underpass slope at the left hand side of the ticket barriers looking from platform 11. The ticket barriers are still in the same position to this day. Indeed, platforms 1 to 10 were the bay platforms for the Bury and Rochdale services, now taken over by new platforms 1&2 for Yorkshire services and the new Metro platforms. Platform 11 ran right through into Exchange station (was it then platform 5?). The underpass lead to platforms 12 to 18 which were the old L&Y platforms. On Saturdays there was a Blackpool train out of platform 12 every 10 minutes! (They departed as soon as they were full!).
