Looks like it runs in between then opens out in front of Revs below street level.

I have zero recollection of Exchange Station. Looking at it, and on maps, am I right that it was physically in Salford, not Manc?

I'm the same with Mayfield.

The approach Road was on the left (heading north up Deansgate towards Strangeways) just before or opposite the cathedral and I think the approach road crossed the Irwell

Yup, I recall that approach .... so, across the river it was technically Salford?

Mayfield closed in about 1960. As a little kid, I was on it once. You know that footbridge to platforms 13 & 14? It used to extend across the main road and into Mayfield station. Quite a trek from the main concourse of Piccadilly - or London Road as it was then.

For many years after that it was used for parcels and mail, and there was a massive fuck off footbridge right across Piccadilly station throat to some facility on the north side. I don't know the details, not being a postman.

That's two years before I was born, for fuck's sake.
:-(

So; Mayfield was across London Road from the main London Road station, was it?
