Work on assisted lounge at Piccadilly

Work has begun at Manchester Piccadilly to build an inclusive and fully accessible Assisted Travel Lounge for disabled passengers.

Network Rail is investing £800,000 to transform a disused room near Platform 1 into a quiet and welcoming waiting space for people with additional mobility and sensory needs.

Designed using guidance from Manchester Piccadilly’s disability task and finish group, it is due to open by the New Year.
