For those who did not know Guide Bridge it was a very busy Junction station with four Platforms plenty of freight workings an engineers yard (still in existance) and a loco stabling point. An idea of the trackwork as it was 40082 July 1981 76025 April 1981 Stabling point April 1981 The station now only has 2 platforms. The Manchester platform being bi-directional for the Stockport Junction. The original signal box is now very isolated from the track. 66537 July 2004 Taken during Freighliner T+T diversions Stockport-Guide Bridge-Trafford Park and VV whilst Slade Lane junction was closed. Not usually this much FL container activity. Most of the original buildings and platforms have gone and are now replaced by 'bus shelters, 37423 on Loco move from Crewe to K&WVR showing the bi-directional Manchester platform
