Passengers using the North West’s busiest railway station are being advised to plan their journey in advance this February, ahead of once-in-a-generation track and signalling upgrades.
Network Rail teams will be completing a huge overhaul of tracks, points and signalling systems on the southern approach to Manchester Piccadilly station, beginning on Saturday 14 February.
Some of this infrastructure dates to the 1980s and problems which occur on this section of the railway impact on nearly every service travelling into Manchester Piccadilly, so improving reliability here will provide a huge boost to passengers.
Network Rail will be investing nearly eight million pounds (£7.9m) on upgrades
