Avanti West Coast announced on Saturday morning that it had cancelled services
Scots travelling back home on the west coast mainline for Hogmanay have been "abandoned" after flooding closed the line and railway bosses failed to arrange onward travel.
In tweets issued on Hogmanay at 8am, Avanti said: "Due to a landslip near Carstairs, all lines north of Carlisle are blocked. Do Not Travel between Carlisle and Scotland." Swathes of the A74 connecting Scotland and England were closed on Friday after downpours led to lake-like conditions on the trunk road. Traffic Scotland reported later that day that the incident had been cleared – but Avanti has told enquiring travellers that buses will not be laid on.One Twitter user said: "Well, having just driven from Manchester to Glasgow by car early this morning, after being stranded there yesterday, I can confirm the M74 is open, dry and not flooded at all.
A third added: "The motorway reopened 13 hours ago. You should be able to organise buses for today rather than abandoning passengers on New Years Eve."
