    Alternative route for HS2 phase 2 proposed with Manchester as through station

    The poster Glen-Ped is likely to be the poster who has been banned many times on SkyScraperCity known as John Burns. I would suggest that everyone puts this poster on ignore as this poster thrives on provoking others to respond to the "ideas" that are put forward.

    Platform 15 and 16 project at Manchester Piccadilly.

    The freight trains you mention run between Trafford Park and (I think )Southampton. They travel south via the Styal line to get to Crewe. At present there is no easy alternative route between Trafford Park and Crewe.
