#Salford Central station will reopen on Wednesday 23 April following the first phase of a £10m upgrade led by #Transport for Greater #Manchester (TfGM) to improve accessibility and passenger experience. Originally due to reopen on 21 April, the delay allows Northern to complete final safety checks. Closed since 10 February, the station now features a new roof, wider platform 2, upgraded ticket office, improved signage, and information points, with further enhancements—such as accessible toilets and braille maps—planned. Until reopening, valid rail tickets can be used on #BeeNetwork buses between Salford Crescent, Salford Central, and key city centre stations. Additional closures are scheduled for Sunday 27 April and Sunday 4 May, and passengers are advised to plan ahead.

Greater Manchester’s Starling Bank Bike Hire scheme is set to add 300 new e-bikes, with over half the fleet being electric by summer 2025. This upgrade supports the city's goal for 1 million more sustainable journeys by 2040. Twelve Cycle Hubs have been rebranded, offering secure bike parking near public transport. By the end of March, 130km of segregated walking, wheeling, and cycling routes will be completed, with 176km planned by 2027. The bike hire scheme, currently in #Manchester, #Salford, and #Trafford, will expand to new locations and integrate with the Bee Network’s fare system. Dame Sarah Storey and Mayor Andy Burnham highlighted these steps to improve cycling access, safety, and integration with other #transport modes, including the future possibility of bike carriage on #trams.

Three light blue and yellow Starling Bank hire bicycles are parked on a grey block-paved area in the foreground, angled towards a large, bright yellow double-decker bus behind them. The bus displays "No tickets. No fuss. Tap and go on bus with contactless" and a "BEE NETWORK" logo, with a ramp extended from its front doors. In the background, to the left, stands a large, ornate stone building under a clear, bright blue sky, illustrating a modern urban transport scene. Photo by TfGM
