Information on Manchester Victoria Station



The City of Manchester’s second mainline railway station is Manchester Victoria which also has a Metrolink station. Manchester Victoria is located to the North of the City centre on Hunts Bank and close to Manchester Cathedral.

The Manchester and Leeds Railway’s vice-chairman Samuel Brooks bought a piece of land at Hunts Bank in 1838. Victoria station dates from 1 January 1844 when the link from Miles Platting was opened and then extended to Ordsall Lane.

Initially a single long platform with a low long single building designed by George Stephenson and completed by John Brogden. Her Majesty gave the owner’s permission to name the station Victoria. Manchester was connected to the cities of London, Glasgow, Liverpool, Leeds and Sheffield by six railway companies in the mid 1840s, with Victoria station dominating the Long Millgate area of Manchester.

William Dawes enlarged Victoria station in 1909, eventually boasting seventeen platforms.

In 1844 a rival operating company the London and North Western railway opened its own station Manchester Exchange Station on the other side of the river. Exchange station closed in 1969 and its services were transferred to Victoria station. The former Exchange site is now a car park.

The substantial four-storey main station at Victoria still proclaims its ancestry with ‘Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway’ and ‘Victoria Station’ lettered into the frontage and corner tower, and with a huge LYR map above the war memorials on the concourse.
The present Edwardian building has a 160 yard facade, which still carries an iron and glass canopy bearing the names of the original destinations which it served, behind this stands the 700 yards of cast iron train sheds.

At the southern end of Victoria station is the former site used by the Bury electric trains, the platforms are now used for the services of the Metrolink light rail system.
Victoria station facilities include a barber’s shop, WH Smith newsagent, coffee bars and buffet.
