With MediaCity expected to be fully operational next Spring, will there be more pressure to run transport services, including train services on Boxing Day in particular?

Also, this year I think Manchester Airport was the largest airport with no Boxing Day service so that doesn't look good on TPE and Northern.

Media City, they will use the taxi to get around.

Man Airport, as usual extensive use of the bus/taxi/private hire.

Will I see trains in the twin Cities on Boxing Day, not a chance, trams run on boxing day. http://www.metrolink.co.uk/christmas/
