NHS and care workers can use the car park at Manchester Piccadilly for free during the coronavirus crisis. Network Rail has waived charges for health workers at both Piccadilly and Liverpool Lime Street to show their 'support and gratitude' in these challenging times.
The move comes as passengers are asked to travel only if their journey is necessary. This is the case for thousands of key workers who use the railways to travel to and from work.
The offer comes amid sweeping changes to train travel, including the shut-down of waiting rooms, the suspension of fare-dodger fines and a pause to ticket-checking, as well as a new reduced timetable.
