Sun, 14 May 21:15 Penzance to London Paddington due 05:03
Sun, 14 May 23:50 London Paddington to Penzance due 07:54
Both sleepers cancelled tomorrow due to crew shortage.
Where is that listed? I can’t see it on journeycheck. I saw it on there earlier but it's gone now. Perhaps they have found someone to work them. |

Quite possibly. Or it was listed in error? Or it was delisted in error and will reappear again at some point? Cancellations listed 36 hours in advance and then a couple hours later to disappear without a reinstatement message probably sums up the usefulness of journeycheck perfectly! |

But no longer listed on JourneyCheck and still coming up in the journey planners. Hopeless! |

Reading the thread it appears that a number of customers were not notified on Sunday and turned at Penzance station fully expecting to be travelling on the sleeper.

I would hope they’d have been given a hotel for the night in London, then travelled on the train of their choice the following morning. |

Looks like the sleepers have now been removed from GWR▸ 's journey planner and there is a note on the dedicated Night Riviera page on the website.

Slow increase in the number of trains being cancelled with crew shortage.
Just noted amongst todays
17:04 London Paddington to Penzance due 22:24
snip
18:04 London Paddington to Penzance due 22:59
19:04 London Paddington to Penzance due 00:35
Nothing on RTT» departures for a Penzance connection on the 1904 (Paddington) from Plymouth - expensive taxi(s) I guess.

Up to about 60 cancellations and shortened journeys now - thought it must be Sunday when I first looked! How is this the case on a normal working day? ASLEF» Overtime ban? |

Yes, the non-contractual overtime ban in place this week will be responsible for most of it.
