    Hi @AvantiWestCoast we've been stuck at Preston since around 630pm with 50 12 year olds. It's now 10.08pm. We've just been informed that there is no way of getting us home to Glasgow, as we can't send kids alone on taxis. A staff member has said we are effectively stuck here.

    One last mention for Mick's Hut in Preston. Didn't have enough stock at 9pm to serve us all, but after some calls buckets of potatoes arrived by car! 40 mins later we were all fed for a fraction of the real cost. Heart warming that there are businesses like this around โค๏ธโค๏ธ

    Thankfully,we have been able to resource, on our own, a coach to take us home. If we had not, we would have 50 young children abandoned on the streets of Preston once the station closes. Apologies from your wonderful staff here are kind but not enough. Very poor.

    This is what 60 bags of chips getting carried across Preston look like ๐Ÿ˜‚ It's certainly lifted spirits as we await our golden carriage home. Big thanks to Micks House in Preston for pulling this out the bag for us โค๏ธโค๏ธ

    Thank you for the kind messages. We all made it home safe and sound A huge thanks to @NSTSchoolTrips for working with us to find a way home and for promising to reimburse the staff for all the food bought to keep the kids fed. @AvantiWestCoast could learn something from them

    It is beyond poor that we can source a coach in the area with 66 seats and Avanti can't. We've been here for not long off four hours.

    'The Preston 50' (almost) all back in school today after an unscheduled rest day yesterday. Thankfully it's school coaches home, with no trains in sight! ๐Ÿš‰

    3 weeks ago 50 of our children were left abandoned by @AvantiWestCoast at Preston station. They offered us mo safe route home, and we made it back only due to sourcing transport ourselves. Today they have confirmed they will not be offering any financial compensation over and 1/3

    Avanti intends to pay the children not a single penny above their legal obligation, despite admitting failures in keeping the children safe that night. We shall take this to the ombudsman in the hope proper compensation can be achieved for the children this company abandoned.

    Above the ticket refund to the children. The best offer they can give are tickets for empty seats on their trains.When asked for the financial equivalent,as for many families these tickets are useless, they have told us we're being unreasonable and that it is tax payers money 2/3
