A series of rail works is due to affect some services in Lancashire. On Saturday and Sunday this weekend, engineering work is taking place between Preston and Carnforth/Oxenholme, in the Carlisle area and between Motherwell and Glasgow Central.

Buses will be replacing trains on both days between Preston / Lancaster / Oxenholme and Windermere on Northern routes. In addition, further buses will be replacing Transpennine trains between Preston and Carlisle (calling at Lancaster, Oxenholme and Penrith) and on Virgin services between Preston and Glasgow Central.

On Monday further disruption has been announced and passengers are asked to check before their journey.

For those staying in Lancashire, the weather forecase for the weekend is mostly bright. Saturday is set to be cold, dry and bright through the day, with a maximum temperature of around 10C. It will be sunny throughout the morning in most areas, changing to cloud by lunchtime.

Sunday in Lancashire will be cloudy throughout the day, with a maximum temperature of around 11C, which will reach its peak by 1pm.
