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.

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

    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.

    I think there was not that much of a difference between the two shots actually. Nice blue sky, it looks really hot.

    Wonderful shot. The perspective of the tracks and the streaming clouds is great.

    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..

    I only miss railways in theory, but I do miss solitary photo opportunites like this.

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

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

    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.

    The clouds are racing along with the train, huh? The momentum in this snap is just spectacular...
