Passengers are using Salford Central for the first time in six months after the railway station reopened following a huge renovation project. Network Rail has carried out an overhaul of the station, costing £7.3 million.
The station, which serves more than one million passengers every year, reopened to travellers this morning (June 4). It had been shut for upgrade work including raising the platform heights, new and extended roof canopies, railway track and signalling systems.
Northern says the work is an 'important step' in making rail travel accessible for all in Greater Manchester. Craig Harrop, regional director for Northern, said: “Salford Central has been serving the people of Salford and Manchester for 184 years.
