Manchester Mayfield
All photographs of this location in date order.
![The derelict but substantially intact Manchester Mayfield station, as seen from the Deansgate line island platform at Piccadilly. This picture shows the main station building, the approach ramp and the trainshed behind. Mayfield was seen as an extension of the then London Road (later Piccadilly) station but closed to passengers in 1960, following which it was for a long time used for parcels trains. Over the years there have been numerous proposals for this prime city centre site, including reopening to rail traffic, but nothing has yet transpired.

![The long trainshed at Manchester Mayfield, and the vehicle access ramp that runs alongside, can clearly be seen from Platform 14 at Piccadilly as 156468 runs in on a Liverpool service. Mayfield was only open to passengers from 1910 to 1960, although it continued as a parcels depot for much longer.<br><br>[Mark Bartlett 09/07/2010]](/images/30000/30092.jpg "Manchester Mayfield")
![The former Manchester Mayfield station - essentially an overspill facility for Piccadilly - is in astonishingly good condition for a brick structure which has not seen passenger trains for 50 years. I hope it will be re-used for something; although rail operators understandably prefer the flexibility of through stations to termini like this.
