The rail industry is appealing for people to send their messages of hope and goodwill to attach to special Christmas trees at Manchester Piccadilly station.
After a challenging 2020, it’s hoped the trees will inspire people and spread some collective cheer online and across the railway network.
每条消息都将变成礼品标签，并用于装饰站点大厅的两个15英尺高的树木。
