    1200 KGX to NCL cancelled Sat 23 Sept; advance fare advice?

    I’ve booked my daughter on this train with an LNER advance single, but it was cancelled yesterday (22 Sept); any advice on what she should do please? Looking at the prices it looks like it will be busy today even without the cancellation. Just to note she really has to travel today. Thanks.
