The signalbox is being expanded during a 2 week closure to provide extra signalling facilities required for the coming Metrolink tram system. In anticipation, the junction layout has been altered such that electric trains from Manchester to Altrincham and diesels from Manchester to Chester each have their own single-track route for the next half mile to Navigation Road level crossing.
