It was £62 for me but no pints - I diverted to Ewood Park in the hope of watching some football. I use the word "football" loosely as far as Blackburn Rovers are concerned. They had 11 players wearing blue & white shirts but they experienced considerable difficulty in passing to a player wearing the same coloured shirt. Proccy and some mates were sitting near me - they didn't reappear for the 2nd half!

And that had a knock-on effect for trains heading south.

I also met a few at Preston station around 12ish. They had also stayed overnight. Possibly the same ones. They were very philosophical about the postponement.

My fruitless mileage so far is almost 1400.
