People trying to get to Scotland found themselves on long cab journeys with strangers after a track defect cancelled trains heading north of Preston on Monday night. A school was forced to find its own coach for stranded students who were too young to travel alone.

But staff from a Glasgow school had to order their own coach to take 50 pupils home as they were too young to travel in taxis without an adult.

He wrote:"It turned out there were no more trains 'North' after that and, excitingly, no forthcoming information. "All of us queued to be taken away 3-7 people at a time. And if that sounds slow and ridiculous, it was." Staff from Greenfaulds High School found their own coach after being told they were"effectively stuck" at Preston station with no way to get their pupils home from a trip to London.
