Title: Staff shortages in the west?
Post by: Zoe on June 27, 2018, 19:01:46
In the last two weeks or so I have noticed:

Barriers not in use at Newton Abbot, ticket office closed.

Trains self-dispatching from platforms 1 and 2 at Newton Abbot (although there was a member of staff present helping with enquiries and shutting doors on the HSTs).

Both platforms at Totnes unstaffed.


I know there have been ongoing issues with traincrew as discussed in another thread but was surprised by the lack of staff at stations which always seemed to be well staffed.

Yes, you may also notice Exmouth unstaffed, Exeter Central single staffed, Paignton unstaffed early and Exeter St David's ticket office closing early a lot lately too, and a lot of TVMs regularly out service.
