TRANSPORT bosses have unveiled a plan to breathe new life into Greater Manchester's railway stations and drive investment and potential housing development surrounding them.
The railway network in the region and its collection of stations will always be linked to the city's past as an industrial heartland - the railway first came to the city centre in 1830 - but today Greater Manchester stands on the verge of a new transport revolution, with the Bee Network set to align all forms of public transport in a London-style network.
Greater Manchester's Transport Commissioner, Vernon Everitt - speaking after the latest devolution deal was agreed between Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and the government - argued our railway stations have often 'not kept pace' with the level of commercial development and modernisation going on around them.
Transport for Greater Manchester revealed the city-region will now work with Network Rail in partnership with the Government to 'identify potential opportunities to drive regeneration and commercial and housing development around them'.
