Photo by Richard Greenwood  Looking west from the Ainsworth Road bridge on on 21 July 1962. The western end of the Radcliffe Black Lane station platform is seen to the left. About to pass through the station is a mixed goods train hauled by a WD Austerity class locomotive.

The station is still staffed by this time and appears to be tidy. That would all change by the end of the year when all of the stations on the line became unstaffed and paytrains were introduced.
