Could tonight's game be called off?

If you’ve got the misfortune to be travelling Trans Pennine ‘Express’ you’d be hoping it was called off!! Over SEVENTY cancellations today with one trainnbetween Leeds and Manchester between 1615 and 1800. It’s an absolute shambles but I haven’t heard any ministers talking about minimum levels of service….

Thought the game was at the Etihad not on runway 1

Tonight will be the game when we start flying again.

A few people having a dig at the airport here, but it's not something that can be helped. They just don't have the proper equipment to clear the snow fast enough and keep it safe. They'e unlikely to buy the equipment for something that happens once or twice a year at most. The equipment costs 10's of millions as i understand it to buy and operate.

They always used to clear it years ago with no problems. It’s just part of the crumbling UK

Update from City. The game has been called off because there’s too much sunlight in Manchester today.

One thing for certain, we will never see the likes of this again.

This is what it’s all about :)

There was a Lancashire cricket match called off for that very thing. Mind you, they also called one off for snow in June once as well…

I got TPXP this morning. My first four trains were cancelled. Sat in Piccadilly for 45 minutes. Don't think it was even the snow, just a typical Thursday.
