Build the cancelled platforms 15/16 at Manchester Piccadilly.
Work to build Manchester Piccadilly platforms 15/16 and associated Castlefield Corridor Improvements should begin immediately to help relieve severe congestion on the line.
Manchester Piccadilly platforms 13/14 and the Castlefield Corridor, including Deansgate and Oxford Road stations have been officially classed as 'congested' by Network Rail. Delays at these platforms ripple across the entire region. Plans to relieve this congestion were drawn up, then shelved by the previous government.
