Passengers hoping to use train services from Manchester faced more cancellations on Sunday as conductor strikes continued for another week. TransPennine Express services were affected by staff strikes on May 29, with some services through Piccadilly station among those being hit.
The rail provider confirmed on Sunday that strike action, which has been ongoing on various Sundays since March, will now continue on every Sunday until further notice. And of the limited services that are able to run, TransPennine have warned they are likely to be 'extremely busy', as people with bikes were told they could not take them on board the packed out services.
Passengers hoping to use services from Manchester Piccadilly station were hit with cancellations and amended times. The provider announced that there would be none of their trains in operation on the West Coast Mainline throughout Sunday, meaning anyone wanting to make an essential journey between Liverpool or Manchester and Glasgow or Edinburgh via Preston and Carlisle, had to find alternative transport.
