Manchester the line would climb 358 feet (109 m) to a tunnel, 1,705 yards (1,559 m) long, and two other tunnels of 126 yd (115 m) and 280 yd (260 m). Normanton is some distance east of Wakefield and not the direct route towards Leeds. Running powers over 9 miles (14 km) of the North Midland Railway to Leeds were given and a clause in the act that should the North Midland Railway fail to build its line, the Manchester and Leeds Railway would have the power to do so.

The method of working was devised by Captain Laws, the company General Manager; it used a balancing load of mineral wagons on a reserved track, with a cable passing round a large drum at the head of the incline. This arrangement continued until some time between 1851 and 1856, after which ordinary locomotive working was used.

It thus seems that the rope haulage might have been in operation for only a year and a half. With the opening of Victoria station, Oldham Road station was closed to passengers after only four and a half years of use, and became a goods station.
