Storm Frank zaps train services on Virgin West Coast trains north of Carlisle UPDATE

Virgin Trains West Coast (via Carlisle) has cancelled all services north of Carlisle into Scotland due to Storm Frank flooding and washing out the line. Again.

They have announced that their tickets will be accepted on Virgin Trains East Coast (via York) and on Scotrail between Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Sadly, further fallout is that Carrs Water Biscuits is still flooded and no production for several more months. They have been unable to source alternative baking facilities so you will need to buy alternative souvenirs on the trip for the next few months.

That is a shame----they are a staple in my husband's diet. We have two unopened boxes and will have to use them carefully.

Hopefully our groceries here will have enough stock on hand to last until factory is up and running again.
