    What a sight thrashing through Leyland Station at 14.15 today. Don't know what the speed was but she seemed a blur! OK only with support and a 37 but what a performance.

    Made me sad that I was waiting for the local Cattle Truck to go into Manchester...

    Is this confirmed? Its just that I can text people I know who may be on their way.

    Not doubting your info Steamworks, it would just save people what could be a nasty juorney up the M6 or from wherever.

    Thanks, Neil. (stuck in work)

    Info re cancellation came from a Carnforth driver. Given the severe conditions in the NW and the fact it's a non-essential train then decisions are likely to be made at short notice.

    Thanks for that, one person had changed their mind due to the weather report anyway and another turned back.

    Thanks again, Neil. (hoping that it is rescheduled for Christmas eve as I am off work... )

    Cancellation also confirmed by Ian Riley. M6 also down to one lane in that area. 5" of snow at Carnforth overnight.

    Shame, it would probably do better than most of the plastic trains in this weather and might have even been a useful 'thunderbird'!!

    Believed to have left Carnforth for Euxton, now that may mean she is either turning round and going back to Carnforth. or detaching from the train and going back to Bury?

    Carnforth to Euxton is an odd one, why Euxton?
