The Coca Cola truck pulling up on the Flag Market in November 2014

A sure sign it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas won’t be calling at Preston.

The Coca Cola truck, which last pulled up on the Flag Market in 2014, is giving the city a bypass once more this year.

Instead it will visit Carlisle, Manchester, the Trafford Centre, Lancaster, Liverpool and St Helens in the North West.
