Description
Northern Rail Class 150 number 150206, formerly part of two 3 car London Midland units, approaches Manchester Victoria with a service from Liverpool Lime Street on 19th October 2012.

Towering behind the unit can be seen the ornate chimney of Cook Street Brewery, as the name on the building indicates it was originally a Threlfall's Brewery built in 1860. Threlfalls and Chesters merged in 1961 to form Threfall Chesters, and that company was in turn taken over by Whitbreads in 1967. Brewing ceased at this location in 1988 and the building sat empty for a decade falling into a state of disrepair along the way. In 2000 work began to transform it into a modern business facility and it reopened as the Deva Centre in 2001 and today it is home to a diverse variety of companies.
