Looking for a new home – 1 Victorian footbridge (used) ….

We hear Network Rail are commencing the planning for the process of removing the footbridge at Altrincham.
They’re looking for a new home for it. Here’s a picture of it from documents provided ….
And here’s part of a TfGM document with some more details ….
If you know of someone / somewhere that might be interested, we hear the person to contact is Alan Howarth at Network Rail’s Square One offices by Piccadilly Station.

Another charming footbridge to go, such a shame. I passed through Marple on Sunday and noticed that new one their is now in use and the wonderful old one is now gone.

Delamere station could also do with a footbridge, considering to get between platforms you have a cross a busy fast moving road twice.

The current bridge spans 4 platforms and 4 lines. Navigation Road requires a bridge to span 2 platforms and 2 lines, as does Delamere. So there should be plenty of bridge for both stations!
