Guest Geordiesned Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 FOR ANYONE TRAVELLING BY TRAIN: Following a landslide today trains will not be running between Haltwhistle and Brampton until Monday. A bus replacement will operate between these 2 stops. http://www.bbc.co.uk/lancashire/travel/travel.shtml Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Geordiesned Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 We're looking into the possibility of hiring a minibus to avoid the hastle. I might even drive over if we can't get that sorted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bramble OG Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 If the bus is there waiting it wouldn't disrupt the journey to much, haltwistle to bramptons only about 10-15mins by car/bus, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
