The Final Spring

            Class 504 EMU Radcliffe 9104xx 

Shortly before the conversion of the Manchester Bury line to Metrolink operation the Class 504 units were playing out their last days with little or no fanfare. Indeed the units could be described as unkempt.
One such graffiti ridden unit crosses Radcliffe Viaduct on it way to Bury in April 1991.
This shot was taken from Coronation Park.
It doesn't always rain in Manchester!
