TRU Unveils New Images Of The Relocated Mossley Station
The Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU) has unveiled new images of the relocated Mossley Station and the upgraded Greenfield Station in preparation for a public consultation set to begin on September 16, 2024.
TRU is proposing major upgrades across the section of the route between Stalybridge and Diggle (Saddleworth), including improved, more accessible stations at Mossley and Greenfield, full electrification of the line and various bridge works to allow the installation of overhead line equipment (OLE) to power faster, cleaner and more reliable trains.
The consultation on this area of TRU will close on 25 October 2024 and is a chance for the public to have their say. A virtual consultation room and feedback form will open on 16 September.
There will also be three in-person drop-in events to view the plans and speak with TRU staff:
• 18 September 2024 3pm-8pm St Peters RC Church, 119 Brierley Street, Stalybridge SK15 2E
• 19 September 2024 3pm-8pm Saddleworth Rangers RLFC, Shaw Hall Bank Road, Greenfield OL3 7LD
• 20 September 2024 3pm-8pm Mossley Methodist Church, Chapel Street, Mossley OL5 0EX
Mark Ashton, TRU Sponsor said: "The TRU Stalybridge to Diggle (Saddleworth) public consultation is the opportunity for the public to hear about our exciting plans for the area, which includes improved, more accessible stations at Mossley and Greenfield for the first time in the routes history.
"We want to bring the people of Stalybridge, Heyrod, Mossley, Greenfield, Uppermill and Diggle with us on this journey. I urge the local community and businesses to look at our plans through our virtual consultation room or at the in-person events and let us know their thoughts through our feedback form."
Mossley station is set to be relocated 300 metres northeast of the current station, in the direction of Greenfield. This will allow space to provide a better travel experience through an improved, more accessible station which will include a new footbridge and lifts. As well as improved accessibility, both Mossley and Greenfield stations will see platform extensions, giving the space for longer services to use the station, which would allow more seats for customers.
The public consultation will also present further details on the installation of OLE on the iconic Uppermill Viaduct, also known as Saddleworth Viaduct.
