Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) is reminding residents to leave themselves extra time to travel if they are visiting newly-opened pubs and restaurants on Saturday.

Reduced capacity is in place across trams, buses and trains due to social distancing measures, with limited services still running in some parts of the region.

Ahead of the weekend, TfGM is encouraging passengers to check timetables and ensure they aren’t left stranded following a day out.

Travellers will also need to wear face coverings – which are compulsory across all forms of public transport.

A number of roads in the city have been pedestrianised during lockdown to encourage walking and cycling to destinations where possible, with pavements expanded to enable social distancing.

These include spaces in Northern Quarter and Deansgate.

For those living outside the city, TfGM has published travel timetables on their website.
