The Challenge For Softech
There was a need for a combination of a re-signalling scheme and end of life permanent way replacement. The objective was to improve the operational functionality and capacity in the area around Stalybridge Station. These improvements would need remodelling of the track layout at Stalybridge Junction and Stalybridge Tunnel Junction. This would enable the line speed between Stalybridge Junction and Stalybridge Tunnel Junction to increase to 50mph and an increase in crossover route speeds from 15mph to 25mph.
New RRIs
Control Systems

PWay Replacement

Part of the re-signalling project was to provide a new control system for Stalybridge, Guide Bridge and Ashburys areas located in the existing Manchester South Signalling Control Centre at Stockport (Edgeley) with capacity to control Ashton Moss North Junction Baguley Fold, Diggle Junction, Denton Junction, Dinting and Romiley in the future.
