Mills Hill station 'Access for All' upgrade

Mills Hill station

Network Rail is building a new ramp on the Manchester bound platform of Mills Hill station and a new lift and staircase on the Rochdale bound side.

The upgrade begins in September and completes in April 2019.  It has been funded by the Department of Transport’s ‘Access for All’ programme. It also forms part of the wider Great North Rail Project – a rail industry effort to deliver better stations, track and trains across the North by 2020.

There will be no disruption to train services while work takes place and access will be via a temporary bridge between the two platforms. Due to the limited space, site cabins will be located in the station car park. This means there will be no parking available throughout the duration of the work.

The Great North Rail Project (GNRP) is a multi-billion-pound rail industry team effort to transform train travel for customers across the North. GNRP includes Northern, TransPennine Express, Rail North, Transport for the North, Network Rail, Department for Transport, Cabinet Office's Northern Powerhouse department and Rail Delivery Group.
