Rail passengers travelling from London to Scotland have told how Avanti West Coast "abandoned" them during the middle of the night - with some left to sleep on a train station floor.
The London Euston service to Glasgow Central departed the capital at 8pm yesterday to head north of the border.
But, after being "kicked off" the carriages at Carlisle, passengers claim they had been asked to queue "for hours" while the rail operator attempted to arrange onwards transport to Glasgow.
