Network Rail and Arriva Rail North (Northern) have unveiled a £46m state-of-the-art train depot in Wigan.

Arriva Rail North (Northern) is celebrating success after several stations claimed gongs in the annual Cheshire Best Kept Stations Awards.

Northern and Network Rail is urging customers in East Lancashire and the Calder Valley to check before travelling as there will be nine days of changes to services to allow vital canal bridge repairs to take place later this month.

We can confirm that today the Secretary of State has announced that the operation of all Northern services will transfer from Arriva Rail North to Northern Trains Limited, a subsidiary of DfT OLR Holdings Limited (DOHL). 

Northern has lifted the lid on the processes and engineering expertise required to transform its trains.
