Everything Cancelled tonight. Floods causing big issues.

We've been discussing it in the Cally Sleeper thread, but the gist of it is that the lines in the Oubeck (just south of Lancaster) area are more or less underwater and it's still tipping it down. No trains until further notice.

1M17 1640 Glasgow Cen to Euston is running through

1M17 was the train which examined the line and pointed out it was underwater.

If it's the train I'm thinking of they turned it into a stopper to London.

Latest train through on the up is 1M44 Shieldmuir - Warrington Royal Mail, dropped about 1hr 15mins between Lancaster and Garstang & Catterall.

Was 164L before that section, now 237L.

EDIT: Looks like the Up may have just been closed, 1M03 Shieldmuir - Warrington Royal Mail has just backtracked and switched to the down, heading north now.

Several roads now closed and Carnforth Railway Station reported to be flooded.
