A Greater Manchester station is among those set to get their names pronounced correctly onboard trains after complaints from the public.
Residents across the North of England have responded to an appeal by Northern to help them correct the mispronunciation of local station names in onboard announcements - with Ashburys in Greater Manchester making the list for currently being pronounced without the 's' at the end.
Ashburys is in Openshaw, Manchester, on the Manchester to Glossop line at its junction with the Hope Valley line. It has been open since 1855 and is the nearest railway station to Manchester City's Etihad Stadium - and travellers have pointed out it's shortened name needs changing. There is no actual place of the name - the station is named after the Ashbury Railway and Carriage and Iron Company which built it for £175.
