Manchester stations among the most disrupted in the country

by Lib Dem team on 16 October, 2018

The stations Gatley trains to go suffer some of the worst delays in the country, according to a new report.

“The reason is simple,” said Cllr Iain Roberts. “there simply aren’t enough platforms or tracks in Manchester to deal with the numbers of trains. That means more and more trains sit outside stations waiting for a slot. For all the talk of the Northern Powerhouse, the government continues to refuse to fund the desperately-needed platforms 15 and 16 at Manchester Piccadilly, and long-overdue improvements to Oxford Road are little quicker. This is a failure by the government to invest in our infrastructure.”

    It’s also incompetence by the train companies who place high executive pay and shareholder dividends over investment for customers.
