Overhead lines along the entire railway corridor will be energised at the turn of 2025 with passengers promised longer trains and faster and cleaner journeys
The long-awaited electrification of the railway route between Bolton and Wigan is set to ‘go’live’ on January 1. The £100M Network Rail scheme has involved electrifying the route and carrying out signalling improvements between Lostock Junction and Wigan North Western station. The upgrade promises longer, quicker, quieter trains and much reduced emissions. Network Rail have issued information ahead of the power being switched on through the system.
Rare 'danger to life' red warning issued by the Met Office ahead of Storm Darragh “As of midnight on January 1 the overhead line equipment suspended above the track along the entire railway corridor, will be live and energised. “To enable the energisation of the line there will be no trains running from December 31 at 10.30pm until January 1 at 1.30pm on the line between Lostock Junction and Wigan North Western.
