Title: Alledged unit change Sunday 27/11/2011....al for the managers... Post by: Mookiemoo on November 28, 2011, 09:25:41 Seemingly there was a managers day out from temple meads yesterday.
on one of the busiest sundays of the year there was a decision to run a single car ex london midland train from weston leaving behind passengers even at weston - to use the planned unit for the managers days out.....

Get some actual evidence and send it to the Evening Post. Title: Re: Alledged unit change Sunday 27/11/2011....al for the managers... Post by: Mookiemoo on November 29, 2011, 08:32:22 Oooh. Get some actual evidence and send it to the Evening Post. I could but then they'd have to kill me! Title: Re: Alledged unit change Sunday 27/11/2011....al for the managers... Post by: JayMac on November 29, 2011, 10:38:17 I think it highly unlikely that a unit was taken off a diagram to provide for a Manager's jolly. More likely that this unit was not in use on a Sunday.
Yes, it could be used to ease overcrowding, but I'm unaware of any particular reason why passengers flows should have been heavier than normal at WsM on Sunday 27th November.

Hmm. ::) I, too, am not convinced about that 'statistic', mookiemoo: in my experience, the busiest Sundays of the year for local Weston-super-Mare to Bristol train services are in the school holidays - and especially the Easter and August Bank Holidays.
