Title: Virgin trains Post by: Jason on February 12, 2014, 18:40:16 It looks like most of the Virgin network is grinding to a halt.
North of Preston is suspended. @VirginTrains: UPDATE: We are advising all customers not to attempt to travel. Customers already on services will be taken to the nearest station. @VirginTrains: All services out of London Euston are suspended until further notice due to adverse weather. #UKStorm Crewe station and Manchester airport station closed due to damage/safety issues.
