  • Damage to overhead power around Warrington which is a bit worrying. We’re on the 10.30, are there other routes to Preston if other trains cancelled?
  • 8.40 train showing as late rather than cancelled which gives some hope.
  • 9.30 is cancelled already 
  • 10.30 cancelled as well. Seems the slow trains are running still.

    I’m on that one, a few Charlton on here. Left late, but running at least ! 
  • Not looking good for direct trains. I'm on the 0840 so hopefully be OK.

    Some others leaving later are looking at going via Manchester. Will carry cancellation risks but it's an option as some trains seem to be running between Manc and Preston
  • Our train cancelled (8.30) - jumped on train to Manchester (9.33) - trains from Manchester to Preston look fine and only 35 mins - the joys of Avanti !!!

  • There is damage to the overhead electric wires between Crewe and Warrington Bank Quay. Trains may be cancelled or delayed by up to 60 minutes until approximately 15:00.
  • 0840 is being cancelled from Wolverhampton.

    Hope all runs smoothly for you via Manchester. A full refund on your ticket at least as you'll be over an hour late. 
  • Tree down so Manchester to Blackpool via Preston trains cancelled. Still a few others hopefully running 🤞🤞
  • Embarrassing. They can run trains in Siberia but a light breeze over here and it all goes to shit.

    It's been a bit more than a light breeze up here.

    Best of luck to those training it.
  • Most of the trains between Manchester and Preston seem to be cancelled. Going to try via Leeds. PS currently at Doncaster. Good luck if going via Manchester.
  • This fixture seems jinxed for our fans re travel/ weather 
    Good luck to all trying to get there today

    Don’t want to make light of the travel issues but perhaps there’s a solution in your user name? Can see carloads of Ubers turning up at Deepdale at this rate.
  • Agree if a few of you consider taxi if you can get one from Piccadilly
  • Gonna be only way by the looks of things

    Bollox!!!
  • Looks like I picked a good one to swerve

    Me too. Only time i am grateful on 12 hr nights tonight. Hope everyone makes it there and back safely.
  • Reading these threads over the last couple of years, means that I wouldn't contemplate train travel for long distance away games.

    All this chopping and changing to get cheaper routes, then seemingly endless cancellations and having to reroute. Very stressful.

    I know why people no longer use them, but to me the coach is far more reliable, and a lot cheaper. Have the beers when  the coach drops you off in SE London.

    Anyway it's 30 degrees here in Denia, Spain and just bought the stream. Best of luck and well done to all of you making a Valiant effort. COYA!
  • Looking at the live departure boards there seams to be trains running from Manchester Piccadilly ok. 1 or 2 cancelled. I guess get as far as you can and hope.
