I thought the original idea was to put the 4 car 331s on the Hadfields as well as other routes but they went east instead

Thanks for that. Looks like it is running late. It was my belief that the turnbacks (if not the platform) had to be in place before a timetable recast could be introduced to split the Leeds/Wigan at Central and start the Stalybridge/WiganNW electrics. If contruction doesn't start until 2025...

Any news when work will start on the 3rd platform at Salford Cresent and the turnbacks at Central and East of Victoria. I ask because this was announced last May and nothing has happened whereas Bradford 4th was announced in January and work has started

Do we think Wednesday's announcement will have any effect on the workings of the task force in light of the fact that no specific mention was made about Manchester capacity in the alternative schemes. Also when is work supposed to start on the third platform and turnbacks.

Did the platform extensions get completed as planned.

Any news on progress

The planning docs indicate that the Liverpool bound platform can fully accommodate a 6 car train but the Manchester bound only five and a half. How does that fit with a 6 car 323

Thank you

I thought those works were to be finished in 2025. What is not clear is where the turn back sidings at Salford Central and to the east of Victoria are to be located

Thanks for the update which seems to confirm that not much is happening at present.

Is there any progress to report on theworks

Stalybridge already has a turn back for Victoria This was put in in 2012 platform 5. Platform 2 can also be used as a turn back for Piccadilly or Victoria but is probably too short for the future. I am therefore puzzled As to what is going to be done.

Thanks for that. I knew I had seen a list but couldn't find it. In which case what is to be done at Stalybridge bearing in mind it is supposed to be under construction

The NAO report states that stages E1 W1 and W2a (Stalybridge) are under construction. What does W2a consist of and is any work taking place. Many of us on here have often asked what is to be done at Stalybridge but that seems to remain a mystery. Also it indicates Stalybridge-Wigan is planned...

As usual not much detail in the press release. However I think you may be right as to what is likely to be done. Also on the emu swap in addition to the 323/319 I wonder if this may also include the swapping of 331/1 and 331/0 between east and west. It has been mentioned a few times that a...

The New TRU page is now live. I don't think it gives any new information as far asI am aware

It is stated above that the fully funded elements are the December 22 timetable change and the infrastructure to support it and the diesel and electric Unit swap. Do we know what the infrastructure works are and the unit swaps

Does anyone know what is planned for Stalybridge Station because I presume they will do any remodeling before putting up the wires

I notice that the TRU page on the NR website has now been updated to cover some of the work mentioned in the press release. The page is messy still contains old outdated stuff but does included newer works and even identifys the bridges and when the work is to be done.

Thanks for that.
