Wigan Warriors supporters train cancelled

[graham43404]

I have just seen on Wigan Warriors fans forum and seen that the supporters special from North Western to Wembley Central has been cancelled due to an incident preparing the train this morning that has left the guard injured.

The club are desperately trying to find alternative transport at the last minute to get the fans there.

* I have just had a phone call from a friend who was going on the train. It seems they have been allowed to travel on Virgin Trains to Euston where something will be waiting for them to take them to Wembley. No word on how they will get back after the cup final though.

Maybe the pretendolino? or hire a loco hauled set from Chiltern perhaps

Train came up ECS and is patiently waiting for the return at Wembley so they should hopefully be OK for getting back (67015 if anybody interested). I wondered why it came up empty and do hope the injured party is not too badly hurt

PS I also hope that the supporters got to Wembley OK, Euston - Watford DC is running but would imagine that the trains would be rather "comfortable".

Thanks a lot for that, I will text my friend who is at Wembley and wondering how they will get home.

Hi! I was on the 1846 London Midland EUS to CRE service earlier and we passed A 67 pulling black/red virgin coaches around Harrow & Wealdstone, then later by Hemel. Lots of red and white scarves (and happy faces!) so I think they got back fine.
