RE: Virgin Trains
Due to damage to Lamington Viaduct services on the WCML will be operating between London Euston - Carlisle , road replacement is being provided for passengers travelling further north.

RE: Virgin Trains
The early indications are that the viaduct has dropped by approx 2 ft with damaged beams and parapets , more is expected to be known when engineers can get a proper look when the weather and river conditions improve enough .

RE: Virgin Trains
Now confirmed that services are not now expected to resume over lamington Viaduct until at least 8th January weather permitting.

RE: Virgin Trains
Now we are nearing nearly three weeks of the closure between Carlisle / Lockerbie and Carstairs , isn't there group standard's issued by Network Rail that require train drivers to do route learning again .

Any idea if the closure is only till the 1st February or will it be a significantly longer closure.
