Network Rail played a blinder in providing flood stricken town Workington with a temporary new station to help reconnect the two halves of the divided town.
Now Northern have managed to magic up some 'spare' resources to strengthen existing and provide additional morning and evening services:
This from the News and Star...
It has doubled capacity on its normal services and the extra services begin today and continue tomorrow.
They are:
0845 Workington - Maryport
0900 Maryport –Workington
1645 Workington - Maryport
1700 Maryport - Workington
1730 Workington - Maryport
1750 Maryport - Workington
Good effort. Eye congratulates all involved - makes you proud to be a railwayman.
UPDATE: This from Bendolino via Twitter...
Wonder if Eye knew that NR allowed BT to run temp. cables over viaduct to back up dodgy links over road bridge?
