Description

Shots of Manchester city centre; Longworth Street and Canal Street, then scenes at London Road Station - interiors and people walking towards the station. Shots of trains leaving the station and views from the moving train. The train passes through Longsight and Stockport, then out into the countryside where people are seen vacating the train at various small stations. A break for lunch, and the train passes a fairground on the return journey, arriving back in Manchester at night.
