Manchester Piccadilly station platforms to close for roof work - Network Rail advice for passengers
Stage three of the work is underway- with two platforms closed at the station
Platforms at Manchester’s Piccadilly station are set to close for a period of time. The closure started back in June and the fifth of six stages is underway so engineers can install new netting on the station roof.
The work will continue until October and is being carried out in phases to reduce the impact on passengers. During these times, some platforms will be closed.
Rebecca Rathore, north west route strategy director for Network Rail said: “We are doing this work in phases so we can keep the station open to passengers. While some platforms will be closed as we install new netting, the majority of the station will be unaffected.
Heather Hodkinson, Avanti West Coast station manager at Manchester Piccadilly, said: “As Network Rail carry out maintenance to Manchester Piccadilly’s roof, we’ll be running a slightly reduced timetable between Manchester and London for three weeks from Sunday 8 September. Our trains will also depart and arrive at different platforms during this time, so if you’re making journeys to and from Manchester we advise you check before you travel.
