RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted August 14, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 14, 2020 Not much goods traffic at Liverpool Central, Brunswick Goods included the original Cheshire Lines passenger terminus - the branch off was really the later line into Central station. The Liverpool portions of trains from St Pancras had reversed at Manchester Central - as did the GC trains right into the 1960s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect reversal at Manchester Central came in LMS days, with the decline of the importance of the Midland route for through London-Liverpool passenger traffic.

PenrithBeacon Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) We are getting to be at cross purposes. I agree that Midland passenger services would have started at Exchange and would have been routed via Farringdon Jcs and Blackburn to Hellifield. I would doubt very much if the Manchester-Carlisle services started at Manchester Exchange which was an LNW station not LYR. The LNW had rights at Victoria which dated back to 1844/5 with the agreement between the L&MR and Leeds & Manchester Rly, but the MR ran it's Scottish trains over LYR not LNWR. The Midland Pullman trains didn't combine with any other but I'm unsure about later expresses. Getting back to goods, think the post by Poggy covers it.

The Midland passenger services to Carlisle via Blackburn and Hellifield used Manchester Victoria (L&Y) as we both previously stated. The Exchange station in question is the L&Y one at Liverpool. All very confusing nomenclature! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmrspaul Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Excuse me if already mentioned, but Backtrack May 2020 vol 34 no 5 has an analysis of passenger traffic from Exchange and Central using dates from opening to closure. Some mention is made of freight services. Paul 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
