Major disruption at Manchester Piccadilly after damage to overhead wires
Passengers have had their travel plans disrupted as services are being cancelled or severely delayed at Manchester Piccadilly Station.
Network Rail says that there has been some damage to overhead electric wires at the station, which has forced the closure of some lines.
As a result, trains running to or from the station may be cancelled or severely delayed by up to 60 minutes.
Manchester Piccadilly says its engineers are on site working to resolve the overhead wire damage.
“We are sorry to passengers for the disruption this has caused and we are working to get people moving as soon as possible,” the station said on X.
The issue started causing disruption just before midday. In an update just before 2pm, the station said most trains in and out of Piccadilly will be delayed or cancelled.
