Read our privacy policy Hundreds of travellers were left stranded mid-journey after a train driver “heard from passengers” the service was cancelled and suddenly aborted the trip. But passengers were left stunned when the train driver only confirmed “rumours were true” and stopped the train after emails were sent telling them their service was cancelled. After piling out into the station, Mr Nokise said people were left “staring at screens” when they were told there were no more trains going northwards. Meanwhile, 50 schoolchildren and five teachers on a different Avanti service to Glasgow were also left stranded for hours at the station and were told there was “no way” of getting home.
