Passengers travelling from Glasgow and Edinburgh to Manchester Airport can now enjoy an Aperol Spritz before reaching the terminal.
TransPennine Express (TPE) has introduced 250ml cans of Aperol Spritz across its catered services, including trains connecting Scotland's central belt with Manchester Airport.
The cans are available across TPE's wider catered network, including services connecting Manchester Airport, Liverpool, York, Sheffield, Newcastle, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
The launch comes alongside changes to TPE's Manchester Airport timetable.
New all-night services between Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Airport were introduced as part of the May 2026 timetable.
Trains now operate approximately hourly throughout the night, seven days a week, providing additional options for passengers with early flights or late arrivals.
The train operator has been under public ownership since May 2023 as part of the Government's transition towards Great British Railways, which is due to launch in 2027.

Andrew McClements, customer experience and transformation director for TPE said: “Aperol Spritz has become synonymous with holidays, so we're delighted to offer it on our services to Manchester Airport.
“Passengers can sit back, relax and feel as though their getaway has started before they've even reached the terminal.”
