This Weekend

The events and engineering work listed below may cause a small number of our services to be much busier than normal for all or part of their journey, or result in lager than normal numbers of passengers at our stations.

Events - Saturday 14 December 2019

Football - Wigan Athletic v Huddersfield Town @ DW Stadium, Wigan. Kick Off 1500
Football - Scunthorpe Utd v Colchester Utd @ Glanford Park, Scunthorpe. Kick Off 1500
Concert - The Courteeners @ Manchester Arena (evening)

Manchester Christmas Markets (until 22 December)
Leeds Christmas Markets (until 22 December)
The annual markets are extremely popular and attract large crowds. All our services into / out of Manchester stations will be very busy especially in the morning and from late afternoon.
Please bear this in mind and plan your journey accordingly - try to avoid leaving Manchester on trains between 1630 and 1800.
Don't forget to bring a bottle of water with you and as trains will have limited space, prams and buggies MUST be folded before boarding.
It is recommended you make use of toilet facilities BEFORE you join any train as it may not always be possible to access those on board!
