The Network Rail internal investigation into Northwich is ongoing.

Regarding the safety of comparable buildings, a review has been completed of stations local to the Northwich area and mitigation steps have been taken where identified in accordance with Network Rail procedures.

A further review of similar buildings across the North West & Central region is continuing with a target to complete in mid-October.
