Passengers are another step closer to benefiting from the multi-million-pound overhaul of Salford Crescent station to improve journeys from next year. <\/p>\n
Throughout 2025, Network Rail and its contractor partner Kier Construction have been building a third platform with stair and lift access from the ticket hall. <\/p>\n
In recent weeks new platform canopies and staircases have been craned into position during the final full weekend closure of the station between 13 and 14 September. <\/p>\n
The remaining work to complete the project can now be carried out without the need to close the railway. <\/p>\n
When ready early next year, \u200bthe opening of a third platform will improve passenger flow and reduce train delays by allowing more flexibility for trains travelling through central Manchester and across the country. <\/p>\n
