Since there isn't a thread that groups together non-Metrolink public transport here is a new one, bit late for the M60 widenning (finishes in a couple of weeks), however, BBC NW news this morning reporting that Virgin are set to increase the frequency and the speed of the Manchester to London trains.
Given they take 2hrs at the moment and run every 30mins they sure are going to be very very good competition for the planes.
All good stuff in my opinion, no doubt Virgin will put a press release out later that will be reported in the MEN.
