Warning that Greater Manchester's roads will get 'busier' as rail strikes planned next week

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Drivers have been warned that roads across Greater Manchester will be busier next week as rail staff are set to stage a national walkout over pay and job cuts.

And travellers using rail networks have been urged to plan ahead and find alternative travel, with limited services operating throughout the region.

Transport for Greater Manchester have urged passengers to avoid taking the train around the region on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

It comes as the few services operating could also reportedly face last minute cancellations or delays. The strikes are also set to impact rail journeys throughout the rest of the week too.
