If you search hard enough around the back streets of East Manchester you may eventually find the entrance to Ardwick station. A main road runs close by but there are no signs to this ghost station and having arrived at this unpretentious entrance there is a long walk and three flights of stairs to reach the island platform. At present it clings to life in the hope that development nearby will bring new traffic - if the potential passengers can find it!
