    It's all about positioning on the platform if you want a seat on the train. It can get a bit hectic at busy times

    Flaming cold when the wind picks up. Ticket checks have moved to the front of the station, if you've travelled without one use the machine at the top of the stairs to get a cheap one.

    If you like to spend time honing the aerodynamics of aircraft or preproduction cars this platform could provide you with free facilities i.e. its a bit windy!

    There is a cash machine, WH Smith & Costa coffee up here, so don't think you have to queue downstairs

    You might need your passport. Is this platform still technically in Manchester?

    If you're leaving the train on platform 14 have your ticket ready as it will be checked at the top of the stairs

    Wrap up warm. This is the chilliest part of the station.
