Carrying the short lived Greater Manchester PTE red and grey livery, Sprinter 150207 calls at Leyland on a Stockport service. This through service had not been possible until the Windsor Link in Salford opened in 1988 allowing through running, at which point many services from Blackpool and Preston had switched from Manchester Victoria to Manchester Piccadilly. Twenty years later 150207 is still operating these NW services from Newton Heath depot.
