Ordsall Chord opens

摘要

The 08.40 Northern service from Manchester Victoria to Manchester Oxford Road became the first train to carry passengers over the Ordsall Chord (RB1546 p2) on December 10, operated with one Class 150 and one Class 158 DMO. Amongst the passengers on the first day was Transport Minister Paul Maynard, who said 'this is a historic day for the north and for rail travel in the OK because Manchester's three main stations are linked for the first time. The Ordsall Chord will help to support faster, more flexible journeys for passengers across the region.'
