Salford Crescent is one of the busiest small stations in Greater Manchester, used by 1.5m passengers every year. A “victim of its own success”, fears grew that passengers could be accidentally pushed on to the tracks because of the daily commuter crush. Improvement work was carried out at the station during 2012-13 including platform extensions, a new rain canopy, and the relocation of the ticket office to street level (http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/12m-upgrade-starts-on-overcrowded-salford-800421 Manchester Evening News).
