I would not advise following in their footsteps.

Might just help out with capacity issues?
I doubt it as I was under the impression that Piccadilly needs more through platforms not more terminating platforms.
One day at Picadilly recently, I was told by a member of staff that platforms 14 and 15 (is that right - the 'through' platforms?), he said "they do more business than the rest of the station!"I doubt it as I was under the impression that Piccadilly needs more through platforms not more terminating platforms.
Wishful thinking maybe but would there be any merit in reopening this an an annex to Piccadilly? Might just help out with capacity issues?
Apart from lots of money what would make the above a non - starter?
Well, I guess a remote possibility is to move the Pendolinos to Mayfield so that HS2 can be placed in Piccadilly.Indeed. Picc is to get new through platforms. Plus if tram/trains do get introduced the need for terminating platforms will lessen. So reopening Mayfield is the wrong answer to the wrong question.
Seriously though I think it is a right shame to see our old railway heritage lying abandoned and unloved. Even if it cannot come back as a station a sympathetic refurbishment would be nice.

Manchester Mayfield willl be renovated in 2014 to make it the Northern Hub for the Manchester Airport Trains. ... I work at Manchester Piccadilly Maintainance Depot.
but preferably without demolishing the Macdonald Hotel.
I bloody hope not, that's a cracking hotel.
One proposal a while back was to build a bridge over the lines from Ardwick Junction to Mayfield for TransPennine services. I think Mayfield was last used by Royal Mail trains in the 1980s.Manchester Mayfield willl be renovated in 2014 to make it the Northern Hub for the Manchester Airport Trains. You cannot gain access because its classed as a danger zone. I work at Manchester Piccadilly Maintainance Depot.

Which Transpennine services would these have been and in what year were these proposals mooted ?
