Interesting annotated video showing some of the issues over the Ordsall Chord, through Deansgate, Oxford Road and platforms 13/14 at Piccadilly. It is interesting to note the trains queuing to get into Platform 14.


It also ends the myth about lightly loaded trains arriving and leaving the Airport.

Cracking video - thanks for sharing.

Should be shown to decision makers to highlight quite how complex the whole area is.
