Network Rail began the overhaul of the lounge on Manchester Piccadilly’s Platforms 13 and 14 on October 4. These are the station’s busiest platforms, with up to 40,000 passengers every day. On completion, visitors will benefit from new seating in the lounge, a waiting area for accessible passengers, and new charging points for mobile phones and laptops, plus two retail outlets instead of one, including a revised coffee shop.
