No trains to Victoria Station over Christmas

Date published: 13 December 2013


There will be changes to Northern Rail services between Christmas and New Year as part of Network Rail's project to electrify the railway lines in the North West, which will mean that faster, more reliable and sustainable services can run to and from Manchester.

From 25 December 2013 until 1 January 2014, trains will not be able to run to Manchester Victoria. This allows the track under Cheetham Hill Road bridge, which is to the west of Manchester Victoria station, to be lowered so that Network Rail can install overhead wires.
