Work to upgrade the railway line between Blackpool and Preston has been delayed by three weeks - meaning services will be hit over Easter. Network Rail has blamed bad weather and the breakdown of its own engineering train for the delay which means services will not resume until April 16. Services had been due to recommence on Monday March 26 after being suspended on November 11 last year for work to electrify the line between Blackpool North and Preston.
