Promoting Discover Amazing Women By Rail with Marjorie Birch of WiCR; CRL & Clitheroe Line. Fantastic response with everyone from Network Rail staff at Square One; Manchester University staff; locals and visitors. We ran out of Amazing Women booklets and had to get extra supplies from Visit Manchester at Piccadilly Gardens! Thanks to Chloe at Network Rail; Mark and Mike from TfGM and staff at Piccadilly who supplied table and chairs. And all at ACoRP !  less

This is the largest investment on the Bittern Line since 2000 when re-signalling of the route was undertaken.  less
