Comedian's 'insane' 11-hour Scottish train journey goes viral
A rail passenger has gone viral on social media after describing his "insane" 11-hour journey to Scotland - which ended at 3.30am after a "ridiculous" taxi ride. Stand-up comedian James Nokise said he was among "hundreds" of people ordered off an Avanti West Coast train at Preston station in Lancashire on Monday night, with passengers apparently told of the cancellation via email even before staff on board.
