Passengers are warned not to rely on 'the last train home' as services could be 'extremely busy'
Rail passengers in Manchester have been warned of potentially “extremely busy” services over the festive period as the city’s Christmas markets open tomorrow, Friday, November 8. Thousands of visitors are expected to descend upon the city in the coming weeks with the markets running until Sunday, December 22.
As well as increased passenger numbers due to the markets, CrossCountry has warned that it has a no-tolerance approach to fare evasion, harassment of onboard colleagues and anti-social behaviour. The four weeks before Christmas 2023 saw Public Order Offences, including instances of anti-social behaviour on CrossCountry colleagues, increase by 14.3per cent on the previous year.
Margaret Edge, Manchester Piccadilly’s station delivery manager, said: “Christmas is a special time at Manchester Piccadilly, and we love being a part of the festivities as people travel through the station to celebrate or do their Christmas shopping.
