I was just checking times for a day trip from here to Blackpool tomorrow, and only train left showing is the 1803 from Preston to Penrith which hasn't been cancelled, presumable because its the only one that terminates at Carlisle. Still a bit of a moot point if that one runs or not as I can't go south in the morning. Car it is if the rain doesn't look too horrendous in the morning (or if it does go on Sunday instead).
One of the big retro gaming events of the year.
After looking a little further the Transpennine from Manchester Airport->Carlisle is also running back the other way (at 1934). Its the only diagram I can see that hasn't been cancelled so it does indeed look certain its an operational decision not to run some of the others between Preston and Carlisle. Now noticed its one a day scheduled to terminate/start at Carlisle on weekdays at that sort of time, but on Saturdays it usually continues into Scotland.

The rain forecast looks remarkable for tomorrow - a continued band of rain sitting over southern Scotland/northern England, whereas in the south, we're forecast highly unseasonably warm (hot!) temperatures. High pressure guiding the inbound low pressure over the north leaving fronts moving laterally across the affected area - while not in a position to say what will happen, I suspect there will be lots of issues around.
Preston Vs Carlisle almost certainly an operational decision though!
