We are excited to welcome everybody to Sunday’s adidas Manchester Marathon and wanted to make you aware of several travel updates ahead of your journey. 

RAIL TRAVEL 

Damage to overhead lines near Manchester Piccadilly have caused a significant number of train delays and cancellations in and out of the station since yesterday (Thursday). Disruption will continue into the weekend. 

• There is a reduced service tomorrow (Saturday) with only one train per hour from London Euston
