WERE YOU IN RUSH HOUR MISERY ON THURSDAY? Equipment failure meant that Piccadilly Station had to be closed on Thursday morning. No trains were allowed in and out after the breakdown at a signal box. Many passengers waiting for trains into the city abandoned their journeys. The problem was fixed by 8.02am, however the knock-on effect meant commuters on later services were hit by long delays.

I get an express into Manchester, usually arrives at 8:40 but on Thursday it got in at at 8:25, lucky me :)
Oh god. Piccadilly was a nightmare. My train was delayed, then it was cancelled, then the next one was turned into an express one which no longer stopped at my stop, same with the next one- just as I was about to boards it. I JUST made it in to work on time.The information offered was none existent. I asked when the next available train would be and the nice information man shrugged and said I should just keep checking the boards.
I got in to Piccadilly about 6.45 without any delays or problems. It can't have been down long if it was back up by 8.
