Manchester Piccadilly Trains Back on Track

0:00On April 19, trains are rolling again at Manchester Piccadilly after crews fixed those busted overhead lines from last week. The chaos kicked off on Thursday, April 16, when a trains' pantograph snagged on high-voltage cables, sparking four days of headaches. Overnight repairs dragged on longer than planned, closing all lines from 11 p.m. Saturday. Teens pushed through the weekend to sort it, getting everything back online by 11 a.m. Sunday. Passengers took the hit hard, with hundreds of services scrapped, and dozens delayed. Network Rail's boss Chris Wright said, sorry to everyone affected, and thank folks for hanging in there. Mayor Andy Burnham is demanding a full rundown, slamming the old school rail setup in Greater Manchester as unfit for today's demands. Check national rail inquiries before you bounce, just in case some delays linger, but the station's humming now, back in the flow.
