A 7:00AM train arrives daily at Manchester Piccadilly station, travelling to London and as of 15th December, it will not collect any passengers.

The service is by Avanti West Coast from Manchester Piccadilly to London Euston.

Under normal circumstances it’s a fast commuter/ business-traveler service, arriving in London just before 9:00AM.

The decision made by the rail regulator Office of Rail and Road (ORR), this 7:00AM service was recently slated to run – but without any passengers. Instead it would only have crew o staff, turning it into what people call an “empty” or “ghost” train.

After speaking too customer service workers at Manchester Piccadilly they explained that it is simply a change of timetable.

They urged people not too be worried as other trans are available for their daily commute by taking trains at close times such as 6:45AM and 7:15AM.
