Cancelled train?

[Seagulls01]

Can anyone in the know, tell me if the 19.03 Preston (x Glasgow C) was cancelled on Saturday evening. I'm sure I got my times right, but there was no 'cancelled' indication. Was it due to earlier wire problems at Crewe?

According to opentraintimes there is an 1859 arrival which comes from Glasgow, but it terminates at Preston. The next southbound Virgin Trains service is the 1927 to Birmingham New Street.

The train that would have left at 19.03 terminated at Preston this weekend due to planned engineering works. (The 19.27 was cancelled throughout as a result of the Crewe OHL problems.)

Salford Crescent isn't long enough for a Pendo is it?

Or are all the through trains Voyagers?

It's also not electrified enough.

It's also not electrified enough.

I would have thought they were on about it being dragged.
