Salford Central railway station closes for six months for multi-million pound refurb

A busy railway station on the edge of Manchester city centre has now closed for six months for a huge multi-million pound refurbishment.

The work at Salford Central railway station will see platform heights increased and roof canopies, track and signals upgraded.

The station already has lifts to the platform, but Network Rail said the stepping distance between trains and the platform edge was too far for most trains to accommodate ramps safely. Raising the height of the platform will mean ramps can be used for all trains.
