Didn't get time to decide. About 10 minutes into the journey a passenger advised that the train would be terminating at Preston. Why were we allowed to board a train not going to our final destination.

Train was cancelled and wasn’t informed until I arrived at the station. No alternatives or refunds were made available. Poor service
