Skywatch Friday: Hyde Central Station


Once a busy station, nowadays there is only an hourly service to Manchester Piccadilly from Hyde Central Station.

See how it looked in 1989 on Old Hyde.

See the view from the station over Manchester Road on Hyde Daily Photograph.

For skys around the world visit Skywatch Friday.

  1. I had a look at both - railways are not what they used to be. But they may return!

  3. I always love to ride the train. But sometimes, I get scared with the openness, scared of falling off. But one advantage is getting to see the beautiful clouds and skies.

  11. The contrast between the modern and the old stations is quite striking..

    I grew up travelling by train ...my father worked as a Station Master, so we used to get free travel.

    So relaxing..

  16. That's a really great photo. A bit deserted to give it some great personality.

  17. If the train never showed, who would care with a sky like that to watch.

  18. Nice sky, but a pity that railway stations are loosing their customers and being closed one by one. We are getting close to the end of an era with the general prevalence of the motor car displacing the general train traffic.
