Opening of Marple Station Footbridge 24th August 2012

Last Friday saw the official opening of the new footbridge at Marple Station attended by representatives of Northern rail, the bridge project team, our MP and local councillors.

The new bridge incorporates a lift that will significantly improve disabled access.  The opportunity was taken during the project to install new station toilets, tidy up the platform layout and repaint the waiting room exterior.  Congratulation to all concerned.
