INTRODUCTION
In late 2017, the Secretary of State,
responding to the Devolution agenda,
endorsed an Alliance approach for rail
stations in Greater Manchester (GM).
This included a focus on fostering a ‘one team’
approach at rail stations to achieve the broad range
of improvements required to meet the needs of a
21st century railway, under the Greater Manchester
Stations Alliance (the Alliance).
In response, the Alliance members worked together
to define a new framework for working at rail
stations. This work culminated in the signing of
the Alliance Agreement on 4th April 2019. The
parties also agreed terms of an agreement covering
specific activities in the field of Regeneration and
Development; Community; and Accessibility.
We will work together to drive enhanced customer
satisfaction at rail stations. Working in the spirit of
co-operation, we passionately believe the Alliance
will maximise efficiency and deliverability outcomes
through joint investment and decision making,
delivering the best possible outcome for passengers
and the wider community.

Greater Manchester (GM) places transport TRAIN/STATION
at the core of its growth agenda. Excellent PERFORMANCE
transport connectivity is fundamental to our
people, businesses and communities, fulfilling
their potential at the heart of a globalised and
sustainable Northern Powerhouse economy.
GM is growing, the economy is expanding, and new jobs
are being created, contributing to our aim for GM to
become a financially self-sustaining city-region, closing
the gap between the tax generated through growth and £
the cost of delivering public services. This aim for self-
sufficiency is the backdrop to the GM Agreement 2014. MULTI MODAL GREATER COST
To achieve this aim and ensure sustained economic growth OPERATIONS TRANSPARENCY
for the city-region, in 2014, HMG and the GM local
authorities signed a ground-breaking devolution deal.
Through the GM Agreement 2014, a GM mayor was
elected on the 4th May 2017 and new powers are now
devolved to the city-region. In this context, GM has
become the leading focus for devolution by English cities,
with the devolution of billions of pounds of spending
decisions to GM away from Whitehall.
As part of this agreement, it contained provision to explore
opportunities to increase responsibilities for the ownership
and management of rail stations across the city-region as
part of a package of transport measures designed to help
support the overall strategic objectives of HMG.
