The New And Updated Platforms 13 to 16 At Manchester Piccadilly

I have been looking to see if I can find anything more about what is happening to update platforms 13/14 and create new platforms 15/16 at Manchester Piccadilly station.

I found this image on the Network Rail web site.

Proposed Platforms 13-16 At Manchester Piccadilly Station

I think it shows the way that Network Rail are thinking.

• A second entrance to the station.
• Does the entrance lead underneath all of the platforms?
• Lots of escalators.
• A proper gateway station for Manchester, opening on to an open space.
• Is that a public space like a restaurant on top of the tower?

The picture does show that there are possibilities to create a very good building to serve platforms 13 to 16.
