<b>Manchester Exchange</b><br>Looking to the west from the footbridge at the western end of Manchester Victoria Railway Station. The area in front was the site of Manchester Exchange Station* from 1884 until it closed in 1969. Little now remains (except the red footbridge and parts of 3 platforms) as a reminder.
<p>Platform 3 of Exchange Station joined platform 11 at Victoria, creating the longest railway station platform in Europe which, at 2238 feet in length, could accommodate three trains at once.

<ul><li>Although named Manchester Exchange, the bulk of the station was actually in Salford.</li></ul>
