About this contract

This is an enhancement scheme funded by the DfT and is part of a package of proposed measures in the Manchester area that are planned to boost capacity and resilience, emanating from the Cross Manchester Capacity and Reliability Improvement Study. As part of the CMRIP programme, it was identified that the provision of a turnback facility to the East of Manchester Victoria Train station would provide operational flexibility. Currently, the platforms at Manchester Victoria must accommodate terminating trains, this restricts the availability of the through platforms, impacting performance and causing a timetable constraint. The new turnback siding will be located to the East of Manchester Victoria at Brewery Junction. The siding will be electrified (25KV Overhead Line) and shall be capable of supporting 1 x 6 26m car multiple units of both diesel and electric traction. To enable the access and egress of EMU's from Manchester Victoria to the Turnback, the project will also provide electrification of the Up/Dn Rochdale fasts where required.
