更大的曼彻斯特是北铁路项目的一个组成部分 - 英格兰北部的近亿英镑改善。
We’ve made a string of upgrades to its busiest station –曼彻斯特皮卡迪利- 改善乘客的整体体验。在未来几个月，我们将提供更多。
提高乘客经验
过去一年的升级包括删除车站最拥挤的平台上的老式候诊室 - 13和14 - 为乘客创造更多空间。
此前，一半的避难所是旧厕所块和零售机组的家园，坐了近20年。我们用较小的现代候诊室取代了该结构，春天将有更多的座位，USB电荷站等暖气。
我们还将完成5月份的新顶篷玻璃的安装，并将适合风休息和新照明。
与此同时，我们正在审查该地区的零售，以改善参观车站的人的产品。
In May last year, we installed a free drinking water fountain – part of a national initiative by Network Rail.
The Great North Rail Project
别处，The Great North Rail Projectis making further headway. The Manchester area now benefits from electric passenger trains that ran from Manchester Victoria to Bolton for the first time this month (February). It’s a significant milestone for the programme.

We’ve also just unveiled plans to upgrade all the stations on the Glossop-to-Manchester railway line. More than £1.5m of Department for Transport money will be go towards Glossop, Dinting, Broadbottom, Hattersley, Godley, Newton for Hyde, Flowery Fields, Guide Bridge and Ashburys stations.

曼彻斯特的主要站
曼彻斯特皮卡迪利was at the heart of the industrial revolution when the railway came to the city in 1830. The potential to link the city with other industrial towns and cities made Manchester an important centre for railway investment, and its role as a hub continues to today.
在1948年的铁路国有化之后，曼彻斯特伦敦路由英国铁路敦米德兰地区（LMR）和英国铁路东部地区（LER）运营。他们继续经营曼彻斯特伦敦路，作为两个单独的车站。
On 12 September 1960, Manchester London Road changed its name to Manchester Piccadilly following major redevelopment undertaken by British Railways in the late 1950s. Station and office accommodation which served the railway companies from the 1860s were demolished and a new concourse with office accommodation was constructed in glass and steel.
Recent history
自19世纪以来，曼彻斯特皮卡迪利下面的住宿被用作商品仓库。1992年，保险库作为城市的Metrolink服务站开了一站。
1998年至2002年间，曼彻斯特皮卡迪利广泛现代化，为2002年举办的城市托管的英联邦游戏提供了广泛的现代化。该项目大大提高了设施，布局和可访问性。它还改善了车站的视觉外观，其中包含新的玻璃入口到平台和移动人行道，将乘客带到平台13和14。
