Network Rail is investing £2.3m as part of the Great North Rail Project to build a new railway bridge high enough for 25,000-volt overhead cables to pass underneath. The bridge rebuild is needed so a £78m electrification scheme along 13 miles of railway can take place.

Over 300 people sleeping rough have been helped by a pioneering partnership between housing and homelessness charity Shelter, and two of Network Rail’s largest railway stations.

Track is being upgraded between Bolton, Salford Crescent and Manchester Victoria in February as part of the Great North Rail Project. The £3.1m investment involves renewing switches and crossings which are moveable sections of track allowing trains to move from one track to another. The essential work will mean smoother and more reliable journeys for passengers in the North West.
