Rats cause train delays

[craig7501]

We've all heard the excuses about leaves, signal failures and lack of staff...
Now hungry rats have been added to the list of reasons why rail services have been delayed or cancelled in Lancashire.

The rampant rodents chewed through cables on the West Coast Main Line, crippling services between Preston and Lancaster.

In just ONE day, the four-legged fiends forced 107 trains to be cancelled and caused 289 other delays, leaving commuters and trains at a standstill.
