Newcastle station has just been closed due to flooding in the city center, as well as problems around Grantham, which I presume is due to flooding.

Went from Stratford to Kings Cross today via the Britannia at Euston (where else for Bite-discounted beer? ) and the Hammersmith and City and Metropolitan lines were screwed. Got to Euston and all the trains were screwed out of Euston, with just about all services having notices underneath 'Train due to form this service due in at 1901' on the 1900 for example...
...went to Kings Cross and despite all these problems all was well! Gateline left open on 9-11 though, but trains seemed to be departing on time even those bound for Letchworth and beyond - no issue travelling out of KGX back home either!
.... spilled off my bicycle after I hit a drain-cover at high speed....
I hope the puddles cushioned your landing somewhat! And "spilled" - ha!
It scraped a square inch of skin off my hand and wrote off the bike... and ruined my Gor-Tex raincoat
Are any trains running via Carlisle? Especially on Saturday.
Between which stations?No buses either!

That's the landslip near Berwick.
Yikes. That's not going to be fixed quickly. Amusingly, the first reply underneath on twitter (an appropriate name for this person) is to have a moan about people being stranded with their children in Newcastle. Some people's lack of intelligence never fails to surprise!
I'm tempted to reply with "at least it's better than leaving children trapped without their parents"Yikes. That's not going to be fixed quickly.

As does some peoples' lack of sensitivity!
