Network Rail will be carrying out major engineering work at Manchester Piccadilly from Saturday 14 – Sunday 22 February 2026.
Investment in this critical stretch of track, the Piccadilly corridor, has been long awaited, as any issues with the ageing infrastructure can disrupt all trains running in and out of Manchester.
The vast scale of the work spanning all main lines means no trains from the south and east of the city will run into Manchester Piccadilly station for nine days from Saturday 14 - Sunday 22 February.
This once-in-a-generation project will keep this crucial section of the region’s railway running reliably.
Rail replacement road transport will operate between Stockport and Manchester Piccadilly.
