Rail travel through Manchester

This is a very specialised topic for a real history/rail buff! Currently, the only train line through Manchester from South to North (or N-S) is through platforms 13 & 14 of Piccadilly Station (London Road station before the 1960s). Has this always been the case? A colleague is sure that Oxford Road (the next stop on from platforms 13 & 14) used to be a dead end, so how did trains go from the Midlands to Lancashire and beyond in years gone by? Have platforms 13 & 14 always been there?

Cheers In A Pickle. Said colleague (who asked me to post the question) has since found an old map that seems to show that there was a link through Oxford Road and that the current link has been the same since the 19th C.
