Football fans and Easter Sunday travellers are being warned to expect disruption on a number of Manchester trains this afternoon. Northern is running a reduced service on some routes through the city until the end of today (March 31).
It's due to 'a member of train crew being unavailable', according to National Rail. The disruption is likely to affect Manchester City supporters heading to and from this afternoon's crucial Premier League clash with Arsenal, which kicks off at 4.30pm at the Etihad Stadium.
But it will also affect families heading around Greater Manchester and the North West this Easter Sunday. The disruption is affecting trains running between Chester and Blackburn, via Manchester Victoria and Warrington Bank Quay.
