Passengers to brace for 2023 travel chaos as FIVE straight days of strikes to hit rail services in region

Passengers have been told to brace for travel chaos in the new year, ahead of five straight days of strikes set to hit rail services in Greater Manchester.

Rail passengers are being warned of severely disrupted train services in the first week of 2023 as two rail unions are to take strike action over five days between them. The union strikes between January 3 and 7 will result in 'very limited' trains running for passengers.

Manchester Piccadilly, the second busiest station in the United Kingdom outside London, will see just four trains leave per hour during the RMT strikes on January 3-4, and 6-7.
