Travel to York Minster for Bishop Nicholas' consecration on 2 March
Despite strenuous efforts it has not been possible to organise extra train transport. After a considerable delay, Arriva Trains have had to advise that "there will be no additional rolling stock available." I am sorry about this, but travellers need to bear in mind that, with over 1,000 people travelling from the Diocese, there will be heavy pressure on rail travel.
