There was a sharp cold at Piccadilly Station this morning — but it wasn’t the first thing you’d have noticed on entering the terminus.
That would have been the sight of a grinch on a picket line. Then, it would have been the noise, or lack of it.
Few trains pulled into the station, and only a handful of passengers walked in and out of the entrances. The quiet was brought on by strike action from members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) union, who are staging the first of four days of walk-outs in a row over pay and conditions.
