Breaking:Protesters storming tracks at Manchester Picadilly
 

Manchester Piccadilly railway station has been closed after about 100 protesters stormed the railway lines.

Campaigners are blocking the tracks and some have tried to climb overhead line equipment, National Rail said.

Crowds of people are holding banners which read "stop Turkey from helping ISIS terrorists".

Network Rail said train services may be "amended, cancelled or delayed by up to 60 minutes", adding "major disruption" is expected until 16:30 GMT.

Whilst the cause is something I completely agree with this is not a good way to advance the cause as it will just piss everyone off.

Not fair on the passengers
nothing to do with this Kurdish protest

lol I just left Birmingham New Street and there were loads of cancellations

what's the problem, tbh it's not like they'd be much of an obstacle for a speeding train.

Seriously though, what link do they see between Turkey and Manchester train station?

Kings Cross now.Same group

Dreadful people

This was my first thought, and then I realised I was thinking anout exactly what they wanted me to think about and then I was like "ohhh". I guess they just knew they'd get the publicity this way, and they wouldnt have stood outside of the shops.
