Couple endured horror journey back to Liverpool on train 'too full to set off'

A couple endured a nightmare journey home after their train from Glasgow to Liverpool was "too full" to depart.

Hannah Wood, 31, and George Creighton, 41, were in Glasgow last weekend for a family wedding. With tickets booked in advance, they arrived at Glasgow Central station for their train back to Liverpool on Sunday (August 14). The couple were booked on the 4.38pm service from Glasgow, which was set to arrive at Lime Street at 8.10pm - after changing at Wigan North Western.

However, Hannah and George claim that they didn't arrive back to their Anfield home until around 1am after a journey that involved a crowded train with no air conditioning, an unexpected change at Carlisle and having to get a "£50 taxi" to complete the final stretch.
