No trains to run through Stockport this weekend as railway closes for engineering works

The railway in Stockport will be closed from 4th to 5th October to facilitate engineering work on the Greek Street bridge and roundabout. Engineers will dismantle a redundant wall in the tracks and begin reinstating the road and walls on the roundabout above. Passengers travelling from Piccadilly to Macclesfield, Stoke, and beyond should check travel plans using the National Rail journey planner. Project manager William Brandon acknowledged the public’s patience, noting this closure is crucial for safely installing components of the new roundabout.
