Well that’s it. All 600 seats on the Rugby Special from Eccles to Blackpool have been sold out and there will be no more. Ever. None. It is the longest possible train Northern Rail can fit on the station at a 600 capacity and we’re delighted we managed to fill it so as ever thanks for your tremendous support. It’s the equivalent of around 15 coaches, plus the coach that’s also going along with everybody driving, it’s going to be a special day.

If you are on it it’s going to be a day to remember. Reds’ merchandise will be on sale on board.

Next stop, Hogwarts. All aboard etc…

Steve will be here shortly to tell you about new flags and car flags that have just come in in the nick of time…
