Primark has released new Toy Story themed bedding sets as part of the Primark x Disney collection and fans are already eager to get their hands on it.
The UK retail chain has delighted Disney lovers once again this week with the addition of new bedding sets to the Toy Story range.
Sharing the release of the new bedding based on the hit movie franchise to its over 1.2m followers on Instagram yesterday, Primark Home said that this one was for the fans of Disney Pixar, and with well over 15,000 likes and hundreds of comments on the post in no time at all, it seems those fans are pretty happy.
The duvets sets come in single sizes (£15), doubles (£18) and for the fully-grown Disney fans, king sizes (£20).
If Toy Story’s not your cup of tea, there’s also Finding Nemo and Monsters Inc. items in the bedding range too.
Aside from the duvet covers, there’s also a matching Toy Story-themed fluffy throw, Aliens cushions, and other themed furnishings too from potted plants, to mugs and cups.

The addition of these new Toy Story bedding set items to the ever-expanding and ever-popular Primark x Disney collection comes after fans went mad for the relaunch of the limited edition Toy Story pyjama range last month, which is now available for an affordable price at stores right across the UK.
The Toy Story Pyjama range includes a number of versatile nightwear items for both adults and children.
Prices for items in the Toy Story Pyjama range start from as little as £7.
The new bedding sets and the full Toy Story range in the Primark x Disney collection are available from Primark stores nationwide right now, and you can also browse the sets on the Primark website here.
Given how popular the collection has already proven to be, you’ll likely need to act fast if you want to grab these Toy Story bedding sets while stocks last, so if you are looking to get your hands on the Primark x Disney collection, it’s advised that you always check the opening times of your local Primark branch before making any trips in store.
Primark reopened its doors to shoppers on 15th June after after temporarily closing amid the coronavirus pandemic. A number of strict social distancing and COVID-safe measures have been put in place for the benefit of both staff and visitors, which should be adhered to at all times.

‘Complex’ Metrolink repairs to the Rochdale via Oldham line could take weeks to complete
Emily Sergeant
Work currently underway on the Rochdale via Oldham line is expected to take several weeks to complete.
Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) has confirmed that land movement affecting the Metrolink network near Derker has now “slowed”, and this means that detailed ground investigations and temporary repair works have been able to get underway.
In order for trams to run again on the crucial line from the city centre to the two major Greater Manchester towns, TfGM says that a small section of track has to be moved back – also known as ‘slewed’ – into its original position.
The overhead line poles also need to be repaired too, the transport operator revealed.

Unfortunately though, due to the “complex” nature of these works, and despite the fact that TfGM says it’s actively looking to “accelerate” the repairs, the project is expected to take up to five weeks to complete in full.
On top of this, the detailed ground investigations will also establish whether any further work to strengthen foundations beneath the track will be needed at a later date.
TfGM has apologised for the inconvenience caused to passengers.

Speaking on the scale of works currently underway, and how long he expects them to continue for, Pete Sommers, who is TfGM’s Network Director for Metrolink, said: “I’m sorry for the impact this is having, and will continue to have, on people’s journeys.
“We are working to get trams running through the area again, but this remains a complex and challenging issue and it could still be a few weeks before this happens.
“We will of course keep passengers updated, and I’d encourage people to check our social media channels and website for the latest information and advice.”
