2.3 Northern Rail, as part of their franchise extension commitments, has
delivered Customer Information Screens at 100 stations across their
franchise area (consisting of 462 stations), including Appley Bridge,
Ashburys, Bredbury, Dinting, Disley, Godley, Gorton, Hattersley, Ince,
Moston, Navigation Road, Strines and Woodsmoor.
2.4 Growth Deal Two funding has been allocated for the provision of further
safety, security and information systems at rail stations across Greater
Manchester over the next two years. Thirty eight stations have been selected
and prioritised using footfall. Larger stations which are currently staffed and
are only missing help points remain excluded from the programme, as they
were previously. In addition, Ardwick, Clifton, Denton and Reddish South
stations have been excluded due to their footfall being under 1,000
passengers per year.
2.5 Designs for passenger help points, CCTV, real time information screens and
public announcement systems are now underway at the following 38 rail
stations: Hall I' th' Wood, Ashburys, Hattersley, Ince, Strines, Glossop,
Atherton, Hadfield, Bromley Cross, Lostock Parkway, Appley Bridge, Irlam,
Bredbury, Flowery Field, Woodsmoor, Bryn, Moston, Dinting, Gorton,
Navigation Road, Godley, Hyde Central, Hag Fold, Glazebrook, Hyde North,
Farnworth, Patricroft, Woodley, Trafford Park, Moorside, Kearsley, Chassen
Road, Ryder Brow, Middlewood, Moses Gate, Humphrey Park, Fairfield and
Belle Vue [listed in priority order based on footfall].
2.6 Based on costs from previous [Rail Station Improvement Strategy] tranches it is intended that of the 38
stations a minimum of 24 stations can be delivered. The remaining 14 would
be shovel ready to exploit any future funding opportunities or should
savings be found during the design process.
