Rail services have resumed at Salford Central station this week after a multi-million-pound refurbishment.
The station, which serves more than one million customers every year, opened on Sunday (4 June) after being closed for six months for upgrade work including raising the platform heights, new and extended roof canopies, railway track and signalling systems.
The work was an important step in making rail travel accessible for all in Greater Manchester.
There are now 317 services calling at Salford Central every weekday with 327 on a Saturday and 185 on a Sunday.
Craig Harrop, regional director for Northern Rail, said: “Salford Central has been serving the people of Salford and Manchester for 184 years.
“The works carried out by Network Rail were much-needed and will make a real difference to the customer experience and ensure the station can now continue to serve the local community for many more generations to come.”
A second phase of work, which will be delivered in 2024, will improve additional customer areas from the street-level entrance to the platform – including new platform furniture and customer information screens.
