TUC rally at Conservative Party Conference - Manchester


PCS, as part of the TUC, is supporting a rally at the Conservative party conference on 29 September.  
An estimated 30,000 people are expected to attend.
The agreed themes of the day are:
  • Save the NHS 
  • Invest in jobs 
  • No to austerity
PCS will be pushing its own 'Stop the cuts' agenda. 

Timings

  • 11.00 - Assemble at Liverpool Road 
  • 12.30 - Move off via city centre - including Deansgate and Lower Mosely Street - to Whitworth Park (approx. 2.5 miles)
  • 14:00 - Rally with music and speeches 
Trains from Wigan, Hindley and Atherton

It appears there's engineering works and rail replacement bus service between Hindley, Atherton and Bolton to Manchester. There's currently nothing showing on the National Rail website about it but as you can see from below, the planner shows a bus calling all stations Wigan to Manchester Victoria via Hindley and Atherton. There is a direct Wigan, Deansgate and Manchester Oxford Road/Manchester Piccadilly.

                       DIRECT TRAIN


We'll keep an eye on this and update if anything changes.
