A railway station which has been transformed into a thriving community hub, that hosts everything from school trips to a summer music festival, is up for a coveted national award.

Passengers have made more than 2,000,000 journeys on the Northumberland Line less than two years after it opened.

Train operator Northern is set to introduce 37 refurbished Class 350 trains onto its network, bringing air conditioning, increased capacity and a more comfortable journey to customers travelling across Manchester and the wider North West.

The number of women applying for jobs with Northern has risen significantly, following the launch of a successful recruitment campaign.

Customers travelling through Manchester Victoria are being invited to speak directly with senior rail managers at a special drop-in session next week.

Young rugby players have won kit and training equipment as well as tickets to watch the Super League Grand Final, as part of a competition run by Northern.

People travelling to the Peak District are being encouraged to ditch the car and take the train.
