    Greater Manchester Combined Authority: Latest transport strategy draft publication

    I know the portal has been dug up during redevelopment, but it all depends on the condition and size of the tunnel. Also, the need to think about the space on the windsor junction side

    Northern Unit Refurbishments and depot allocations.

    I don't think this one has been fully refurbished yet, if we go off 507021's list.

    Platform 15 and 16 project at Manchester Piccadilly.

    Not that I want to ask a question that's already been asked, but is this still sat with the 'Digital Railway' team to come up with a solution or is it with another part of NR? And what deadline have they been given?

    Transpennine Route Upgrade and Electrification updates

    The bi-modes can change on the fly, yes. The problem is there are various viaducts and cuttings between Huddersfield and Marsden i.e. expensive

    Blackpool - Manchester Electrification

    What's goes on when it's turned on? I imagine its a very tense night, bad enough turning the power back on when you've done some re-wiring in your house!

    Actual Politician/ Political Party Infrastructure Commitments

    Do these exist anymore?

    Poll: What are your suggestions for the future redundant HST sets?

    They could go on south Transpennine services, replacing the 185s, which in turn could go to northern connect?

    Platform 15 and 16 project at Manchester Piccadilly.

    Funnily enough, I heard MCC were willing to fund it for NR upfront, with NR paying back to the council in CP6.

    Electrification of Northern Wales

    What about this new fangled 'discrete' electrification, AKA do the easy bits?

    Platform 15 and 16 project at Manchester Piccadilly.

    According to Wikipedia, its the largest in Europe, let alone the UK

    Platform 15 and 16 project at Manchester Piccadilly.

    So I take it we're not getting any news before the recess then?

    Blackpool - Manchester Electrification

    Not until CP6 has started at least, even then it could be a year or two even after that!

    Northern Class 170's

    Probably something to do with the funny windscreens on the 385s.
