The BBC is not independent. Virtually all MSM are owned by the Corporatist Technocracy type companies whose CEO’s summon Government leaders to Davos, or they’ve been taken over by individuals with the correct opinions who want to ensure the rest of us have the correct opinions too. If this statement were not true, cancel culture wouldn’t exist.
The west is always trying to impose its liberal values on cultures that just don’t want them. It’s up to their citizens to decide. Protests in Iran by Iranian women being a case in point.

Wasn't Davos the leader of the Daleks? Even for the Media thread that would be a bit schizophrenic paranoid.
 
Promised this picture a while back, it looks like permanent access for something although I doubt they are reopening Park Station on Briscoe Lane.

Wouldn't be a bad idea to reopen it not far to walk and only closed in the 90s so shouldn't be in too much disrepair

I think about 12 month or so ago the bridge strengthening work was completed, the bridge work took 9 months or so. Prior to this the line was closed I believe, they must have some plans but I’ve no idea what they are. It could simply be it just part of the upgrade and electrification of the line.

Annabel Tiffin asked Burnham whether the City should be taking money for an arena from a nation with an appalling human rights record..... hypocrisy to slag off Abu Dhabi / CFG then take the money

Surely not the same Annabel Tiffin married to John Williamson...

The same dirty bastard sacked by Greater Manchester Police as deputy head of press for sexual harassment and touching female colleagues.

Perhaps she should look closer to home.

Looks like lighting is being put in as that is ducking for the cables, knowing Network Rail one of their engineers maybe fell getting access, so they spend thousands of pounds doing this, if you want to do a station it cost millions nowadays. need dissabled access and lift knowadays

The station was located on Briscoe Lane. The station was opened on 13 April 1846 [1] by the Ashton, Stalybridge and Liverpool Junction Railway (AS&LJ) at the same time as their line from Miles Platting to Ashton-under-Lyne and Stalybridge.

The AS&LJ became part of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway on 9 July 1847.[2] The London and North Western Railway had running powers over the line, and from the completion of Standedge Tunnel ran express trains between Leeds and Manchester through Park station.

The station was served by local trains between Huddersfield, Stalybridge and Manchester throughout its life, although from 1968 (when many other local stations in the area closed) these mainly called during the weekday peaks.

Later history and closure​

Latterly only a handful of trains served the station and usage had declined to the point where it was decided that it was no longer economically viable to keep it open—as a result, it closed on 27 May 1995.[3] The overgrown platforms are still visible from passing trains.

Would be a good idea to open up the station again to take the pressure off the trams and buses. Plenty of space off Briscoe Lane and Grimshaw Lane to do this @failsworthblueboy

Aston Villa are doing this with Witton Station when building Aston Villa Live

Yeah did think disabled access was conspicuous by its absence. It just doesn’t look like a temporary access. Probably just a new access point.
 
The boxes behind the goals not being sold for this season and a number of players boxers there are moving to the sides.

Looks like two lift shafts either side of the platforms

When they did the South Stand, they closed Legends Lounge and we lost the back row of seats on the 2nd tier. Interesting that there’s been no word on the latter yet having gone through the renewal period. Maybe the year after?
