Hyde North station has been transformed thanks to resurfacing work, train operator Northern has announced.

The work was completed by Northern and Network Rail and has seen the car park and the approach road resurfaced.

The project is part of a £500,000 scheme to improve facilities at 13 Northern stations.

All 13 station car parks will be resurfaced, and some will have improvements made to drainage and their approach roads.

Chris Jackson, Regional Director at Northern, said: “This investment is another example of the work being done by the rail industry to improve the journey experience of passengers. It will transform our stations’ car parks and make a significant difference to our customers.”

Rory Kingdon, Senior Sponsor at Network Rail, said: “These car park improvements make a huge difference to the look and feel of local stations, as well as making journeys better for our passengers who drive to our stations. We’re taking advantage of the current decreased passenger demand to carry out this work, and we hope that passengers really notice the difference when they are able to safely return to the railway.”
