Grange train derailment

[Time Waster]

Anyone been caught out by this train derailment? Looks like the line is closed from Lancaster to Barrow until Monday 8th April.

I work from home but need to be in one day this week early on. The line had been unreliable for some time now but this is really bad twice as long to travel by replacement buses which only runs every third train time through to every other train time. Less than half the trains get a bus!

Worst thing is that our van is in the garage with an expensive bill and is taking 3 weeks so far! We're a bit isolated right now.

Yikes - bad luck. I hope that the problems on the line are sorted ASAP.

I enjoyed riding The Bay Way but it is a bit too far for a cycle commute!

Hope things get back on track for you soon.

I see what you did there.

@Time Waster, is there a regular bus you can get instead of the rail replacement bus?

I have just noticed this, but a handy tip for when it next happens, take the train to Windermere or Kendal for the 6/X6 bus to Grange or Furness.

When it next happens!

How frequent is this type of incident.

We watched them take the buggy involved away on low loaders last night, 3 1/2 months later.

There are a few holes around there...

It was nearly dark and I didn't have my camera with me.
