Manchester is bracing for what is expected to be the 'busiest days of the year so far' with thousands travelling in and out of the city for huge Elton John, Arctic Monkeys and Coldplay gigs, as well as the Manchester City v Manchester United FA Cup final game in London - all during train strikes.
Next Saturday, June 3, is predicted to be the most hectic of all, with both Manchester City and Manchester United fans attempting to travel down to London to attend the FA Cup final, with rail strikes set to impede journeys and cause delays or last minute cancellations.
That same day, Elton John will be performing his third night at the AO Arena, the Arctic Monkeys will take to the stage for their second Manchester date at Emirates Old Trafford and Coldplay will perform their third show out of four to a sold-out Etihad stadium.
