Rail bosses have announced extra services running beteween Manchester and London to acccommodate mourners travelling the capital following the death of Queen Elizabeth.
Avanti West Coast had previously been running a reduced timetable between the cities due to an "unofficial strike" from staff. But to assist those who wish to travel to London to pay tribute to the late Queen, they are adding 'up to eight additional services a day' on weekdays this week - a total of 16,000 extra seats.
Tickets are also now on sale for this Sunday, with Saturday tickets expected to be on sale within the next 24 hours. However, rail bosses have warned that they expect the weekend services to be 'extremely busy', and are telling passengers to book as early in advance as possible.
