Enhancing journeys
Our work has supported the enhancement of train journeys in the North West by facilitating longer electric trains, which are intended to provide more environmentally-friendly and quieter travel options, and support the Government’s 2050 target of a net zero railway.
Infrastructure improvements and modifications
The £100m upgrade project involved electrifying the route and carrying out necessary infrastructure improvements and modifications, while undertaking signalling improvements between Lostock Junction and Wigan North Western station.
