Title: Cancellations in December 2012 Post by: phile on December 12, 2012, 19:00:41 Noticed on Journey Check several cancellations, either full train or legs, on trains via Bristol due to non-availabulity of train crew. Anybody able to throw any light on it or is it just a one off perhaps. We don't want it to become a regular occurence.
Title: Re: Cancellations in December 2012 Post by: phile on December 24, 2012, 18:08:41 Reference has been made today (Christmas Eve) on Cardiff to Portsmouth Board to numerous cancellations due train crew shortages. There are also numerous cancellations and short workings again, especially on Severn Beach and Cardiff to Taunton routes. Has leave been granted for so many staff that it is not possible to cover the diagrams or is there just a mass outbreak of "A don't want to work bug".
