A Rochdale businessman missed the early morning 5.44am train to Manchester on Monday morning. Baffled staff were puzzled as to how the man had managed to miss the train when he had been on the platform eight minutes before the train arrived. After appealing to the duty station inspector, stating that he had to catch a plane, a two coach diesel unit was commissioned to run the passenger non-stop to Victoria, where a taxi was waiting courtesy of British Railways, to take him to the airport bus station in St. Ann's Square.
