Date: 08/12/2017
Rail operator Northern is preparing to welcome customers onto the first passenger service to cross Manchesters Ordsall Chord on Sunday 10 December.
The historic bridge, a centrepiece of the Great North Rail Project, connects north and South Manchester and, on Sunday, will see customers cross for the first time. The moment will be marked by Rail Minister Paul Maynard who will travel on one of the first trains across the Ordsall Chord
The new bridge is a key link in the modernisation of rail services in the north of England and will enable Northerns customers to travel from West Yorkshire, through the Calder Valley, direct to Manchester Oxford Road.
