Manchester Oxford Road
(1849 - )
The station opened as Oxford Road on July 20 1849 and the station buildings, which were temporary wooden structures, were accessed by an inclined esplanade to reach the north front
In October 1874, with Liverpool Central railway station now open, a letter to the press complained that with the additional services over the Cheshire Lines now using Oxford Road it was dangerously overcrowded because it only had 1 platform
In 1876, about £12,000 was spent on enlarging the station facilities, including the provision of a refreshment room; the station was then said to be handling about 100,000 passengers a week
However, train-handling congestion was eased when Manchester Central railway station opened in July 1880
When Manchester Central railway station closed in 1969, further rebuilding took place and Oxford Road became once again predominantly a through station
