Hi from Manchester
Hi all

Just joined, Old Trafford, Manchester born & bred, 53yo.

Earliest memories of Manchester, Manchester to Altrincham electric service, Trafford Park steam shed, Manchester Central station, Midland Pullman.

Electric service over Woodhead.

Going on holiday to Great Yarmouth in about 1962, leaving Mcr Piccadilly steam hauled and arriving in Great Yarmouth diesel hauled.

As I got older, I had a cousin in Cheadle, and have vivid memories of the NEW electric Manchester to London service rattling through Cheadle at 100mph.

Pete

Hi Pete my wife is from your part of the world Eccles, we sometimes stay with her sister who has a pub in Barton Road. I'm a Londoner myself and that's where we live.

That's spooky, I live in Eccles now, what's the name of the pub? there's 3 or 4 Barton Roads around here. (I can guarantee I've been in it)
