Train cancelled due to pathing problems.

40145 | Skegness - Liverpool Lime Street |
Notes :
(1) From the
Spitfire Railtours Website: due to Network Rails' inability to path the
train suitably, it is with regret that we are forced to cancel this charter
train. Pathing problems exist with our picking up points at Warrington Central
and Manchester Piccadilly on the outward journey and also between Boston and
Skegness. This means our outward route would have been via Earlestown and
Manchester Victoria, presenting just 2 hours in Skegness, not our requested 4
hour break. On the return journey the route was as requested, however this is
not acceptable in light of the outward journey.
