RE: First Transpennine Express
Today was a day First Transpennine will glad to see the back , until about 1400 most services where disrupted in one way or another , due to a major lightning strike fried some fuses in the main signalling system for Manchester Piccadilly Station.

For a good part of the day there was delays and cancellations to services .

At one point some services where diverted into Manchester Victoria , but there just isnt the capacity there now since the MEN Arena was built for a large capacity terminating service.
