Bryn Station improvement works

What improvements will be made?

£6.1m will be invested in the station to improve accessibility for all passengers.

This will see the installation of two new passenger lifts, ensuring step-free access to and from the platforms. The station’s lighting and CCTV at the lifts and assistance areas will also be upgraded, providing a better and safer experience for train passengers. 

Work will take place over the next 12 months, with completion expected by autumn 2026. 

Will the improvements lead to any disruptions?

• The station will stay open throughout, maintaining normal services.
• Temporary footpaths will lead to both platforms, and the current stepped ramps will be replaced with new stairs.
• Tickets can be bought through the ticket machines on the station platforms, on the Northern website and app and on the train.

While these works will deliver important benefits and step-free access at the station, there will be some disruption during the construction phase: 

• The site team will be carrying out construction works on weekdays (between 7am and 6pm) and at night, during some weekends.
• Some road closures may be required in 2026 to install the new lifts, with details confirmed closer to the time.
• All work areas will be separate from members of the public to minimise impact to station operation, although we apologise in advance for any disruption. 

For further updates and information regarding the progress of these works, please stay tuned to announcements from Northern, as well as our partners Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), and Network Rail.

Thank you for bearing with us while we carry out these improvements. Once complete, Bryn station will have step-free access and better facilities, making it easier and safer for everyone to travel.
