Nothern Rail has announced it is to increase services on the Buxton to Manchester rail line to two trains an hour. The move is part of a series of revisions to train services set to come into force in May. From May 20, Northern will begin operating two trains an hour between Buxton and Manchester Piccadilly, significantly increasing the capacity on one of the most popular routes into the city. The enhanced services form part of Northern’s May timetable change, which the company says is paving the way for future improvements and getting the network ready for the arrival of new and fully refurbished trains.
