Don’t pay it then Life is as easy or as difficult as you want it to be It's a good point though. £12 to watch a live stream is ridiculous. I hope the person that came up with that price is sacked immediately. Why stop at sacked? Let's carry on and horse whip the little knacker...

Yea, the 11:09 gets in at 14:17 so plenty of time to get to the ground. Could get off at Haymarket as that’s closer to the ground Is everyone on the 11.09 then?

Trains total shambles
Connecting trains from Liverpool to Wigan / Preston all off
Driven to preston .. for train that should get in at 1018. .. that’s turned into a bus replacement coach!!
Journey time unknown .. other trains likely to be cancelled / bus replacement / no service or May run WTF
Currently waiting for a mate & will drive
Where there’s a will there’s a way , but Im puddled

If anyone is going today and has a spare adult and child ticket could you give me a shout?
Fife based and was hoping to go with my son but didn’t realise that there were no tickets on the gate.

No, we can fuck up the running ourselves. Foreign shareholders just take the profits, which privatisation guarantees.

Most ticket desk staff seem absolutely fed up and have been handed the very shitty end of a thin stick. This country is a shambles at the moment.

Was the 09:09 from Crewe cancelled or not? Why did I get an email at 4am this morning saying it was cancelled?

British Rail trains were filthy, unreliable things They were also cheap and went to places at times you can't now What I do know is accross Europe trains, and public transport generally, are fantastic and very affordable How have we got it so wrong?

Those that we’re going and perhaps can’t now due to the state of the trains at the moment, are you able to claim refunds via Trainline?

So the Edinburgh train that was cancelled was then uncancelled. Hope no one didn't bother because they thought it wasn't running.

All trains were cancelled as far as I'm aware that's why we didn't bother going, just seemed like a domino effect also people saying they were on different trains and they would just terminate at certain points just could not take the risk especially getting back.

I’m tracking the 09:09 Crewe train on a Trainline and it appears to be running mate. I’m absolutely fuming.
