MANCHESTER

Because of the complexity of the Manchester-area rail transportation system, there are altogether four maps showing the routes:

• A map showing The whole region, with smaller rectangles showing where the other three maps fit in.
• A map showing The Manchester metropolitan region, including Machester, Oldham, Salford and Stockport.
• A map showing The Manchester core city area
• A map showing The NW area of the region, including Bolton and Bury.

It is possible to by-pass the maps:
