Central Station, terminus of branch from Glazebrook on the CLC Manchester Central-Liverpool Central line. The CLC was a joint operation of the Great Northern, Great Central & Midland companies but the GN had no involvement in this branch and the MR later opted out, leaving the line in purely GC hands until the creation of the LNER.
