Plans for major expansion to Manchester Piccadilly rail station including large numbers of apartments and commercial space. This is the busiest rail station in Manchester, currently with around 27m passengers annually which is expected to increase to over 50m by 2035 as the High Speed rail network linking numerous English cities is constructed over the next decade and local rail/tram links developed further.

Plans have been released for the redevelopment of Piccadilly station and the area surrounding it ahead of HS2 and the arrival of Northern Powerhouse Rail.

The plans include integrating Metrolink and Northern Powerhouse Rail into an underground alignment with provision for eastward expansion of Metrolink, combined with a redeveloped Piccadilly station and millions of square foot of commercial, residential, hotel and retail floorspace in the surrounding area.




The arches underneath the station will be opened up for retail and restaurants




A brand new 'internal street' will link the existing station with the HS2 station, while escalators will link this concourse with Metrolink and NP Rail underground
