Activists halt trains
TRAIN passengers faced hours of disruption after protesters on the tracks brought services to a complete halt at one of the country’s busiest terminals.
A group of activists made their way from the concourse at Manchester Piccadilly on to the tracks at around 1pm yesterday.
The action, which saw scores of flag-waving protesters make it on to the tracks, was thought to be in opposition to Turkey’s war with Syrian Kurds.
