Now got another option. I managed to cancel my ticket to Preston. I am now getting a train from Milton Keynes to Manchester. Then Manchester to Preston
If the tickets ever arrive from Accrington, so we can actually buy them, we'll be driving there and back as from Southampton the rail fares (if there are any trains running) are ridiculous.

Its brilliant from Accrington, dont want fans watching via. iFollow.
From 23 July, at weekends we plan to run five trains an hour from London Euston, one to each of Glasgow, Liverpool and Birmingham (extending alternately to Edinburgh or Blackpool), and two an hour to Manchester*. There will be a shuttle service between Crewe and Holyhead, plus limited services between Euston and Chester where possible.
This amended timetable will be in place at weekends up to and including Sunday 11 September, although we will continue to review this situation.
*The timetable will be adjusted on the weekends of 30-31 July and 3-4 August due to the Commonwealth Games, whereby Birmingham will have two trains per hour and Manchester will have one. The bank holiday weekend of 27-29 August is affected by engineering works - find out more here.

So my booked seats on the Avanti service should remain valid and the train should run? They don't appear to be striking but just have a different timetable?

Avanti have been suffering from staff shortages,so have introduced a revised weekend timetable, they are not striking. The amended timetable for next weekend has not yet been released, when it is released i'll post it on this thread.
Thameslink services are scheduled to depart from Abbey Wood at 28/58 minutes past the hour. If you can get to Woolwich the DLR is a useful alternative with a train departing every ten minutes to Bank where you can connect with the Northern line to Euston.

Mate, you are 55 and will be living in Brazil. You really would spend ££££ to fly back just to save £10 on a match ticket wouldn’t you.

Driving up, tickets arrived and hotel booked for the Saturday night, 15 mins away outside t’Burnley. Looking forward to taking my lad to the furthest away game he has yet attended. Hopefully Newcastle or even Blackburn sometime in the not too distant future… 🐖 can 🛫
I have purchased train tickets going up via Leeds and back via Preston. Do you think Clive , they would let me use the Leeds up ticket on the Preston route ? Thanks for any help you can offer

LNER have not arranged ticket acceptance with Avanti, so no, but you can use your ticket on CrossCountry, Northern, ScotRail and Transpennine Express to allow you to complete your journey. Trains dep Kings Cross at 07.06 & 08.00/ 09.06 to York & there are direct services to Accrington via Leeds departing at 10.23/11.23/12.22 journey time about 1hr 48 minutes. I hope this will be ok for you.
