A train commuter has revealed she's regularly forced to shell out up to £50 in taxis to get to and from work in Manchester because of the state of the north's railways.
The angry worker spoke of 'regularly' being stuck at Warrington due to train cancellations and said on at least four occasions this year, she's paid out for taxis more than she's earned in the day.
Her comments come as northern mayors including the mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, were due to meet the Transport Secretary, Mark Harper, yesterday (Wednesday) to demand he takes action to end the 'chaos' blighting the region's railways. Labour mayors from West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, Liverpool and North Tyneside will urge Mr Harper to improve services.
