A 'Eurovision Express' train service has been announced from Manchester Airport to Liverpool Lime Street tomorrow
The service will accommodate the large numbers of Eurovision superfans flooding into the city for the hotly-anticipated final. The new service will coincide with strike action by ASLEF, the train drivers union, following its rejection of a "risible" pay offer of 4% last month.
Tricia Williams, chief operating officer at Northern, said: “As a Liverpudlian myself, I know how proud the city is to have been chosen to host the Eurovision Song Contest on behalf of the people of Ukraine.
