Electrification of Manchester to London Railway line

Electrification of railway line

An advert posted in the Rochdale Observer on 2nd March 1966.

Offers advertised for trips to London from Manchester on the newly electrified line. The journey takes 2 hours and 40 minutes and there were eleven trains per day in each direction. The journey now takes just under 2 hours 10 minutes and there are three trains per hour.
