Manchester Airport Rail Station Works: Sunday 6 December 2026

On Sunday 6 December, Manchester Airport Rail Station will be closed for planned works. The closure is part of a wider programme by Network Rail to deliver major upgrades to the station.

Whilst the works take place, no trains will operate between Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Airport.

Services that would normally operate to or via Manchester Airport will be amended, terminate at alternative stations or operate via alternative routes.
