Virgin Trains have put on a special Footex service to get fans down to Wembley for a match, however the WCML is blocked at Winsford due to a derailed HOBC during an engineering possession last night. 57316 was dispatched from Crewe early this morning and you’ll be taking this service on a diversion via Manchester. As you’re a diversion you’ll have to fit in around other traffic and so it might be slow going through Manchester.
