Rail bosses will add 'relief trains' to help curb the impact of a reduced rail timetable between Manchester and London.
In a letter addressed to Mayor Andy Burnham and Coun. Bev Craig, leader of Manchester City Council, West Coast Partnership CEO Steve Montgomery outlined the changes, are expected to come into force from Friday (September 16).
The improvements will see four additional charter trains run between the cities per day in an attempt to provide extra capacity. These will initially be run as 'relief trains', but will be integrated into the timetable at a later date.
