Train passengers continue to be hit by strikes as services in Manchester reduced

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

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.
