Engineering work is taking place throughout the north on Saturday and Sunday.
Locally, work is taking place to upgrade Tunnel End Aqueduct, also known as Standedge Aqueduct.
The site will become a hive of activity with around 50 staff and contractors working around the clock to dismantle the existing bridge deck. The new bridge deck will no longer be lifted in over the weekend and instead that will happen at a later date, but it still means bus replacement services.
Other engineering work is taking place to the tracks in and around Greater Manchester.
