Andy Burnham said promises made for the north's rail infrastructure had not been delivered
He said platforms 15 and 16 - promised around a decade ago - should not be abandoned despite the plans being ditched earlier this year.This would allow more trains to run through the Castlefield corridor in Manchester city centre.when Network Rail described them as "hugely expensive" and "incredibly disruptive".
It comes after TfN's Rail North Committee, which the Labour mayor chairs, endorsed the new statutory advice despite concerns it did not mention platforms 15 and 16.reported that Mr Burnham shared the concerns with the board and said the new platforms should still be on the table as no alternative had been put forward.TfN said its revised statutory advice focused on outcomes such as more capacity, better performance and reliability, rather than specific outputs.
