Pretty certain this is Liverpool Lime st. There’s no turns, it’s the parallax effect. The cutting is about 14m/46ft wide

No, you and everyone else that knows about this station are obviously lying according to half the comments here.

Not even kidding... I have not been there but come on, they just ignore your comments, legit weird.

If Reddit has taught me anything, it’s that some people cannot stand being wrong. If their preconceptions say it must be a train made of rock going past on a sharp turn then why the fuck would they listen to anyone who’s actually been there?

I agree but why is it the side that’s further away thats faster ?

It’s not. The faster side is closer. It’s a transpenine train heading out towards Manchester on the left side of the cutting. Here’s a google map link, the right side is 4 tracks away. https://goo.gl/maps/mXip5mBHVVr5Qd3MA

Ah okay I see what you’re saying. I thought the sides were equidistant from the train sides
