And we're off, starting another station collecting holiday in Manchester, with Reddish North. Easier than Reddish South just down the road as it actually has more than one train a week!

A small road leads down from Gorton Road to the station and its car park:

The front of the station building, which is still in use although the ticket office had already closed by the time we visited on a Saturday afternoon:

A timber merchant occupies a yard next to the station, which includes this railway building:

Steps lead up from the car park to Criterion St:

The entrance to the station from the car park when the station building is closed:

The gate leads on to platform 1, where we look east:

The rear of the station building, which has a stubby wooden canopy and a fading mural about railway safety:

Walking along to the other end of platform 1, we look west along the line as it goes first under something (an elevated pipe?) and then under Gorton Road:

Looking back east at the footbridge from the end of platform 1:

The footbridge joins the two sides of the station. Looking east from the footbridge:

The shelter sits in an area which perhaps once housed a larger structure:

Looking east from the end of the accessible part of platform 2 we see a stretch of disused platform:
