After a long, long time, the government has come to an agreement with striking railway staff to put an end to strike action. We hit the street to see if the people of Manchester are pleased to see the stand-off come to an end.

00:00Hi I'm Theo with Manchester World. Today I'm out on the streets of Manchester asking people about
00:03the railway strikes. That's because I want to know whether people have been inconvenienced
00:06by them over the past, well, very long time and whether they're happy that a deal has been struck.
00:11I just think the Conservatives failed at everything they did so what did we expect,
00:15you know what I mean? The way I see it's not really the train drivers, it's more the companies
00:19that are like not listening. You know, alongside other things that they've introduced in the very
00:24short time they've been in power, it's actually really nice to see some movement like my husband
00:28works for the NHS for example, it's nice to see some movement in the strikes and the
00:32Gina Doctor row there. I went to Blackpool just a couple months ago and it was cancelled trains on
00:38the way there, cancelled trains on the way back. Yeah I'm kind of the same, like I understand why
00:43they did them, obviously like if you need to get a train somewhere it can be quite hard if they're
00:47not running but I do understand why. I'm back from London and my train was cancelled and yeah it was
00:53just ridiculous, I had to wait like a good hour for the next. What's the difference if it's fully
00:57cancelled and you just can't get home and then it's like well where do I go from here?
