Manchester Piccadilly: Avanti West Coast station staff strike on Saturday 10 October 2026
Last Updated:
RMT members employed by Avanti West Coast at Manchester Piccadilly station will strike for 24 hours on Saturday 10 October 2026, the last of three strike days RMT announced on 29 July, after 1 and 29 August. The dispute is over the dismissal of a colleague, which the union calls unfair.
What to expect: Avanti says there is currently no strike action affecting its train services, and that when local disputes occur at a station it works to keep the impact on customers to a minimum. Allow extra time and book assistance in advance if you need it. Other operators at Piccadilly (Northern, TransPennine Express, CrossCountry) are not involved.
