Drone footage has been released following the first weekend of major track upgrades between Manchester and the Peak District.<\/p>\n

Network Rail is investing \u00a3700,000 renewing a section of track at Guide Bridge which joins the Glossop line to Denton.<\/p>\n

This weekend the old track was removed, new track foundation stone (ballast) was laid and new track panels lifted into position during a 54-hour railway closure.<\/p>\n

Video released today (Monday 10 August) shows the scale of the work carried out on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 August – the first of two consecutive weekend railway closures stopping all trains between Manchester Piccadilly to Glossop\/Hadfield and Rose Hill Marple.<\/p>\n

Both routes reopened this morning to passenger and freight services but will close again next weekend for engineers to complete the job over another 54-hour railway closure.<\/p>\n
