Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has called an emergency Rail North Committee for Wednesday after the rain operator Northern once again issued a do not travel warning at the weekend
Customers were advised not to travel between Manchester Victoria and Chester, as well as from Manchester Piccadilly to Stoke due to ‘short notice cancellations’ in the north west.
“Transport is critical to growth and right now Northern is damaging local economies across the North.“ said the Mayor on X
Earlier last week the Mayor also took to social media writing on X
This level of service can’t continue,
@northernassist.
This is to give you notice that I will be calling an urgent meeting of the Rail North Committee to require an urgent plan to restore an acceptable level of service.
