Huge queues along main road as Greater Manchester petrol station slashes prices

Pictures have shown mammoth queues with cars lining up along a main road after a petrol station slashed its prices over the weekend. Cars were seen waiting to fill up beside the Texaco Garage on Chorley New Road, Horwich, on Sunday (November 27).

Staff even had to stand outside and help direct drivers into the fuel forecourt after its prices were cut as part of a 'Black Friday' weekend deal. Petrol was reduced from 149p a litre to 139.9p, with diesel down to 159.9p from a previous 175p.

Throughout the day, cars remained stationary in queues along a usually busy Chorley New Road, with drivers waiting for their chance to fill up with the dramatically discounted prices.
