Background information:
Network Rail are investing £7.9m to improve tracks, points and signalling systems on the southern approach to Manchester Piccadilly station – known as the Piccadilly corridor - delivering better, more reliable journeys for passengers.
Investment in this critical stretch of track has been long awaited, as any issues with the ageing 1980s infrastructure can disrupt all trains running in and out of Manchester, causing delays for passengers. In 2024, there were 35 faults on this stretch of track. Therefore, this much-needed critical life-expired track infrastructure renewal is designed to improve train performance in Greater Manchester and on the West Coast Main Line.
Teams will replace 11 sets of points, renew timber sleepers with modern, concrete equivalents and bring lineside equipment bang up to date across six lines to improve future journeys for passengers and freight. While the train shed (platforms 1 - 12) will close during the work, Manchester Piccadilly station’s concourse will remain open to the public. There will be a limited service westbound from platforms 13 and 14.
More details on the work taking place are available on the Network Rail website.
