Irlam Station Strategy
On 11 May 2011, Salford City Council adopted the Irlam Station Strategy. It envisions that ‘Irlam Station will be a safer, accessible and better used station, attractive both to rail passengers and within the Liverpool Road corridor'.
To deliver this vision the strategy has five objectives which are to:
- make Irlam Station a safer place
- improve the station environment
- improve parking for rail users
- improve the management of Irlam Station
- improve access to Irlam Station
The actions are to:
- improve parking facilities for cycles and cars
- create a ticket office
- bring the station house back into use
- undertake highways improvements
- undertake environmental improvements
- improve the station platforms
- improve access to station platforms
Delivering the vision
Work is already underway. Highway improvements on Liverpool Road and Station Road started in July 2011 completing in September 2011. These include signalising the junction of Station Road and Liverpool Road, a new pedestrian crossing, resurfacing Station Road and replacing street lighting. The improvements are jointly funded through the Building Schools for the Future programme, the Irlam and Cadishead Community Committee and the Salford West Strategic Regeneration Framework budget.
A ticket vending machine and a customer information screen will be installed at Irlam station in December 2011.
The strategy is being delivered by the Irlam Station Partnership Group which comprises the Friends of Irlam Station, Transport for Greater Manchester, Northern Rail, Network Rail, British Transport Police, Greater Manchester Police, Hamilton Davies Trust, ward members and officers of the city council.
