A former British Rail worker has shared fascinating photos of Greater Manchester's train stations taken in the 1980s and 1990s.
During his time working for the British Rail heritage watchdog, Michael Patterson was tasked with recording the nation's train stations with the aim of improving public relations with passengers. In visits to Greater Manchester, Michael took photos of Piccadilly, Oxford Road, Wigan North Western and Navigation Road train stations, between 1982 and 1993.
Not wanting his mind-blowing collection of over 3,000 snaps of stations across the UK and Europe to go to waste, Michael, who lives in Lincolnshire but is from the Wirral, created a Flickr profile showcasing his photography.
