Promoting Discover Amazing Women By Rail with Marjorie Birch of WiCR; CRL & Clitheroe Line. Fantastic response with everyone from Network Rail staff at Square One; Manchester University staff; locals and visitors. We ran out of Amazing Women booklets and had to get extra supplies from Visit Manchester at Piccadilly Gardens! Thanks to Chloe at Network Rail; Mark and Mike from TfGM and staff at Piccadilly who supplied table and chairs. And all at ACoRP ! less

As a result the current 40m long x 1.2m wide platform will be extended top 80m long and 1.6m wide to accommodate the new class 755 Flirt trains being introduced on the route later this year The station will be closed from 11 March until 08 May this year to enable the works to take place. This is the largest investment on the Bittern Line since 2000 when re-signalling of the route was undertaken. less
