Salford Crescent station is set to be transformed with a new third platform and signaling upgrades, enhancing capacity and efficiency for rail services in the Greater Manchester area.
Passengers numbers have since grown to around 1.2million between 2022 and 2023, making it one of the busiest stations in Greater Manchester . The new revamp will see a third platform built, allowing more trains to Manchester and the rest of the country. The Crescent station will mean signallers can better organise how trains move through the area. Passengers have already been warned of a number of closure dates during the works including a number of weekends between March and September.
The renovation of the station is also alongside a £10million upgrade to Salford Central, which will include new customer information points. The two train station revamps are part of the wider £2.5billion masterplan to transform Salford. And a man who has visited all 76 cities in the UK explained why he thought Salford was an underrated destination. Salford is actually a city in its own right - with its own identity and some of the best urban attractions in the country
