Ashton-under-Lyne station is the only station on the line between Stalybridge and Manchester Victoria, and has almost all of its buildings above ground level. Here's the front of the station building just to the south of the line:

The subway entrance is the only access to the station:

At the far end of the subway is a ramp to platform level and a lift:

The ramp and lift lead up on to platform 1, just by the digit:

On the other side is platform 2, from where we look west. It looks like there was once another track on the right:
