We're facing a weekend of misery this Easter with forecasters warning of wintry weather, and long delays expected on roads and rail.
With Easter falling just one day off the earliest it can possibly be, forecasters were predicting snow in Scotland and some parts of north eastern and eastern England over the holiday period.
While hundreds of thousands will travel from airports and sea ports to sunnier climes, those left behind were being warned to expect the worst Easter yet on the roads.
And with Network Rail carrying out engineering work on many rail routes, train travellers were facing disrupted journeys.
Latest train and bus service updates, including live departure times for all local rail stations, are HERE.

Erica - International Jet Setter - In your dreams Erica!!!!
Taking the bus to Salford does not qualify for International Jet Setter status.
Ex-Pat - Well maybe Erica - you said that you come from an Irish background - that's the only way that you will ever be an ex-pat.

Global warming...
Ive just been looking at the records and the last time easter was this cold and dull was 1964 - and that was the coldest and dullest in 81 years with temperatures at 6 to 7 degrees C.
This easter looks set to be as cold if not colder !
So it could be the coldest and dullest in over 100 years !
... global warming ?
Total rubbish... Global Cooling more like !
Wish I could afford to get away from this miserable country.

Bolton only sold 900 tickets out of a 3000 allocation so you can't have tried very hard.
You really need to rid yourself of this chip on your shoulder about United, it's not good for your health.

So answer the question, what 'stopped' you getting a ticket ?
There were 2000 spares in your end.
Maybe you were bullsh.itting and have been found out ?

Erica, my business partner normally gets tickets for both of us.
He had wrongly assumed that they would be impossible to get, so didn't pursue them. No bullsh*t, just an honest mistake, which he has apologised for.
Anyway, I see that you managed to cheat to another win.
How much does Satan pay the refs?

Glad to see we crushed those backward inbreds from Bolton with a reserve team. the cheeky little up starts are nothing more than one of our suburbs send them back down a league to teach them a lesson.

Cow head you Trotters were soundly spanked by a team of mostly subs with a few first teamers. Sir Alex must have said to Ronaldo" Right son, it's only Bolton, the ugly side of football, just knock two past them son that'll be enough".
Bolton's lack of skill and ugly style of football will see you back in the championship where you belong.
