The £145m scheme has delivered several major railway improvements between Manchester and Sheffield including the upgrade of Dore & Totley station, increasing connectivity between Bamford and Hathersage, and completing general track renewals. The improvements will increase the number of trains that operate between the cities from two fast trains to three fast trains per hour. The Dore & Totley station upgrade has created a new platform and accessible footbridge with lifts at Dore & Totley Station, a railway loop between Bamford and Hathersage and a new overbridge at Hathersage West, replacing the current foot crossing to improve safety. The successful delivery of this project reinforces our partnership with Network Rail and underscores our capability to contribute to significant infrastructure development schemes. This project will provide multiple advantages for the North of England and will enhance passenger connectivity and reliability.
