RAIL passengers are still facing repeated cancellations more than a week after a new timetable brought the service to its knees.
Northern cancelled three trains to Manchester from Warrington before 9am today, Friday.
It follows chaos for passengers trying to get trains back to Warrington from Manchester during rush hour on Thursday.
Other services run by East Midlands trains are running as normal but are reported to be extremely busy as a result.
Northern says there is currently 'major disruption' on its new service to Manchester Airport.

And minor disruption on its Liverpool to Manchester route through Warrington.
The 7.38am, 7.53am and 8.46am have all been cancelled.
A new timetable was brought in on May 20 and has resulted in regular cancellations to services.
Northern has again apologised for the problems on the route and is vowing to improve the situation.
A spokesman said: "We are again extremely sorry to all passengers affected by recent disruption, and are setting out how we’re going to improve the service for our customers as quickly as possible."
Readers have their say:
I travel to the airport everyday, usually the morning train to Piccadilly is ok, however every night it's total carnage with many cancelations. The trains that do run are packed to the rafters

Last night at least two in a row were been cancelled, who knows if the 3rd turned up as I had to go to Irlam from Warrington to pick him up instead. That meant no time with his kids. This appalling company are impacting people's families, jobs, lives. A shameful disgrace pic.twitter.com/MIhaQwI7sZ

Trying to get from Birchwood to Warrington on Sunday evening just didn’t happen. Ended up getting a taxi back to St Helens as the many delays and cancellations caused me to miss the last bus
