Rail bosses will add 'relief trains' to help curb the impact of a reduced rail timetable between Manchester and London
Rail bosses will add 'relief trains' to help curb the impact of a reduced rail timetable between Manchester and London.
The improvements will see four additional charter trains run between the cities per day in an attempt to provide extra capacity. These will initially be run as 'relief trains', but will be integrated into the timetable at a later date. He also said he he will be updating Mayor Burnham and Coun. Craig on wider plans to restore the timetable and increase the number of services running between the cities 'shortly'.
He also confirmed that tickets are now available for Saturday September 17, saying the delay was due to pressures in creating a timetable quickly following the RMT's announcement to cancel their scheduled strike action this weekend out of respect.
