Angry passengers will gather at a railway station to protest about train operator Northerns abysmal performance. The demonstration will be held outside Manchester Victoria station during the Thursday evening rush hour. It is being organised by campaign group Northern Resist to highlight the awful service and incompetence of Northern and the Department for Transport. Kate Anstee, who is helping to plan the event, claimed it is a natural progression for passengers to become more active in voicing their displeasure at how the railways are run in northern England. Travelling on Northerns trains is mentally and physically exhausting every single day, the 36-year-old social justice advocate told the PA news agency. The service is abysmal.
