The news will be welcomed by passengers, but is still short of what the service once was
More trains will start to run between London Euston and Manchester Piccadilly from next Tuesday, under-fire train operator Avanti West Coast has announced. Between the stations, Avanti will run an additional 10 daily trains on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, and an extra six trains on Wednesdays.
The move has sparked fierce criticism from the travelling public and the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, who highlighted 'chaos' on services, passengers finding seats double booked and a slow release of online tickets. But services were reduced in early August as result of drivers being unwilling to sign up for the overtime upon which all train operators rely. That caused numerous 'short-notice cancellations' and led to the reduction in trains, said Avanti. The company has also blamed Covid for a backlog of training and industrial action.
