Storm Bert cant beat Freight or Peter Pan.
The storm affects most lines at Carlisle
23 Nov 24

A wet and windy Carlisle - freezing in the morning but milder afternoon. Very little snow hit the border city and had gone by daylight.

The WCML operators had revised their services down because of the forecast weather.
All but the Northern service to Newcastle were eventually affected. ScotRail had put on a two-hourly service to and from Dumfries; Northern had problems with the Leeds trains due to lines down around Shipley and later flooding on the S&C; Northern had problems on the Barrow trains, being curtailed to Whitehaven, but also halted for a while; TransPennine were running trains to Carlisle from the south whilst Avanti started the day with pccasional trains from the south to Carlisle, until the Shap floods and also infrequent shuttles between Carlisle and Glasgow or Edinburgh.

Despite speed restrictions in Scotland and flooding from midday near Shap, the Freight trains and only charter of the day behind Class 86 Les Ross / Peter Pancontinued to run (although the charter destined for Berwick upon Tweed was curtailed at Edinburgh).
