When was payday? Sunny weather and a full wallet.....
Not until next Friday for most. Would that be for staff paid 4-weekly or monthly? |

1803,1903 & 2003 Paddington-Plymouth all cancelled due to crew shortage. I guess that just leaves the Sleeper?

Railway pay is four weekly, 13 pay days a year so March or April is the freebie month. Also every few years there's a single week bank credit.

Retired and loving it! Pround owner of a brand new little red book and an annual first class https://oneticket.cz/networkPassSearchIt will be well used and I doubt I'll ever get any delay repay compensation. |

2103 Exeter is shown as running. Also the above trains not showing on RealTime trains so cancelled well in advance? |

I agree it's pathetic.
Now if only the money was paid up 20 years ago and Sundays were inside the working week. I would have liked that option.

Not quite as many as last week, but another batch of cancelled/part cancelled trains again today, particularly out of Paddington around 4pm with three long distance trains in a row cancelled.
After many weeks of next to zero cancellations, are we seeing a slow return to how things were before Christmas?

Drivers prioritising the life over working overtime. You really can't blame them. Rugby @ 1500.

.....and to be fair, being a train driver puts you in the income bracket necessary to be able to afford Twickenham tickets these days! |

Can't blame them for leaving, the money's awful!  I wouldn't worry thought, I'm sure GWR▸ will have it covered - their workforce management abilities are legendary. |

This may happen occasionally when the receptionist finds it can't talk to the worker, and that did happen this evening because I rebooted the worker. |

Since the introduction of the IETs▸ and the GWR▸ driver grade the company really has lost its way, the more HSS drivers that retire the more they are going to struggle to cover the work. Route knowledge, productivity and flexibility are key, and they’re losing it quickly. |
