Windsor Link

Windsor Link

The Windsor Link is a short but key railway line in central Manchester that connects Salford Crescent and Deansgate stations, opened in 1988. The new link allows services from north west of Manchester (such as from Southport via Wigan and Bolton; also from Blackpool via Preston) to be diverted from Manchester Victoria to Manchester Piccadilly, emphasising the latter's status as Manchester's main station. Services then continue south east from Piccadilly to destinations such as Manchester Airport, Buxton and Stockport.

The link starts just south of Salford Crescent station, diverging southwards from the route to Manchester Victoria, and ends half a mile later at a junction with the route of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. Trains using the link then run along that route for a very short distance before turning off onto the route of the Manchester, South Junction and Altrincham Railway to reach Piccadilly.
