Recommended Posts

Due to high wind forecasts tomorrow, there will be serious disruption across the whole of Scotland and North Of England. NR have imposed a 40mph speed limit on ALL lines, so services will be seriously disrupted until at least 12 noon. I know that the other operators may not be of interest to you, but if anyone is going south be aware too
