About

A DfT-funded rail enhancement scheme in the Manchester area is seeking a supplier to deliver telecoms testing and commissioning for a new east-facing turnback on the Manchester, Bolton and Bury Line between Salford Central Station and the Oldfield Road Bridge, adjacent to the Salford Hope Street (Cemex) sidings. The turnback will help free capacity at Manchester Victoria by moving terminating services off the platforms, enable an additional stop at Salford Central for Manchester Spinningfields, and support service recovery. Scope includes testing new FTN-x transmission circuits to support new FTN-x network requirements; testing and commissioning FTN-x equipment in existing FTN/FTN-x nodes; testing new copper cables (including VlVt where appropriate) and existing spare pairs; testing lineside telephony services; and updates to the Northgate Concentrator at MROC. The turnback comprises two roads (8-car x 24m and 6-car x 24m), with access to platforms 3–6 at Manchester Victoria via existing connections, fully electrified at 25kV and fully signalled for planned use, with provision for berthing/storage and crew walking routes.
