All trains between Newcastle and Carlisle cancelled today, no bus replacement.
Expecting the same tomorrow.


Northern are on strike tomorrow anyway!

There's nearly a full service between Newcastle and Carlisle by all accounts. Just the weather to worry about.

As it's on I'll be going on the trainf rom Dumfries. I certainly won't be going in the car, even though it's only 45 miles, roads are too treacherous for that.

I genuinely fear for the safety of the team and any fans who are preparing to travel, it simply isn't safe to do so. In fact it's downright dangerous and somebody from the club should be contacting the Football League and advising them that they have an over riding duty of care to all the clubs under their umbrella, and sending them off on such journeys is a dereliction of that duty.

Barralad. Should I take my wee parcel with me?


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

Crazy decision, or non decision. We probably have one of the most treacherous journeys of any team this weekend. The league should have stepped in and taken the decision away from Carlisle and the ref. It may still be off anyway, and we'll have taken all that risk for nothing.

I'm making my mind up in the morning mate. I'll message you in plenty of time...


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

It is a shocking decision.

You have the police and authorities telling everyone not to travel unless exceptional circumstances demand it and then expect the team and fans to travel.

The club should have appealed the decision - and as you say all it needs is a severe overnight frost or conditions around Brunton Park to be too treacherous and it could well be off anyway.

Thing is, a local referee could deem it playable say at 9am, which would hardly give fans the opportunity to get there anyway, and it could get postpoend as conditions deteriorate further. If they leave earlier they face the possibility of a very long drive with possibly a postponement at the end of it.

I might be the Carlsile 1 tomorrow!

It wouldn't surprise me if the pitch gets frozen. Wouldn't they have been better off leaving the snow covering on until the morning?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
