Default Travel info

I was hoping to go from Aberdeen to Chester tomorrow on the train.

Can anyone in that part of the World give me a weather update please?

Aberdeen to Edinburgh - change - E to Carlisle - change - C to Warrington - change - W to Chester

Thanks Jim, I've been watching that and others - problem is they all give different info.

Lockerbie and Beattock should be bad but they don't show as bad

I've an early start so will prolly just go and if I can't get moving back home on Sat I'll wait to Sunday. Problem can be they don't tend to grit the roads so well at weekends

As long as you get to Chester, I'm sure Amanda will put you up!

Your mobile Cheshire weather reporter has been out and about to see local road conditions and you can make your own minds up on the massive Cheshire blizzards
