    Last Trains from Manchester to Barrow/Hull/Nottingham cancelled

    Publication of Integrated Rail Plan for the North and Midlands

    I think Wigan needs to benefit, rather than be bypassed, like Northamptonshire.

    Brexit makes it very difficult to move to another country and get employment

    No of course not. But it does limit the number of places you can move to and claim benefits in.

    Brexit makes it very difficult to move to another country and get employment

    We could all come to Ireland and avail of the EU scene thanks to common travel area. Or much better Middle East, Far East, Australasia. Places we are welcomed.....
