Journeycheck currently shows 20 cancellations and 27 part cancellations, the vast majority are due to ‘industrial action’.
As at 10.50, 38 cancellations related to Industrial action. Looking at the bigger picture, GWR▸ isn’t fairing too badly compared against some of the other operators today. With more drivers currently in training I can only see todays cancellations reducing over the next 6 months. |

Another week of an ASLEF» non-contractual overtime ban now announced from 17th-22nd July inclusive. Coinciding with RMT▸ strike days on 20th & 22nd. The latter of which will be very affected I suspect. |

The sad fact of that offer is that if they stopped at this:
The proposal comprises a two-year pay offer which provides for a 4% increase in year one (including retrospective pay) and a further increase of 4% in year two
This would have been settled a long time ago. The changes to the terms and conditions aren’t, in my opinion, going to make any significant cost savings.
Significant cost savings can only be achieved by altering the structure of the franchising system, and that will never happen because that would be accepting privatisation has failed.

I and most I talk to have lost the trust of the trains to get them to their destinations, let alone get them back, commuting has changed for ever too, wake up industry and unions, please.

I got the 1129 from Reading-Plymouth today, despite all the warnings given due to the ASLEF» action it was on time and normally loaded.......notwithstanding the problems caused by the points issues near Bristol today, the effect of the industrial action on longer distance services seems to be pretty minimal so far and mainly restricted to branch/smaller lines? |

1hr 40mins to get from paddington to Maidenhead last night.
Arrived at paddington 17.10
17.20 cancelled at last minute
Waited for 17.50
Platform for 17.50 dangerously overcrowded
17.50 turns engine and lights off. No announcement made about intention to run.
Transfer to Elizabeth Line to catch 18.00
18.00 runs slightly late, arriving at Maidenhead 18.50
I can’t wait to go back tomorrow.

Better off sticking to the Elizabeth Line. Unaffected by the Industrial action. |

I think that’s a good plan.

Might be slightly more effective what with the holiday season upon us - there may be more drivers off that need cover

Effective in creating inconvenience for the public, totally ineffective in securing any more for their members. ......and probably more than slightly more effective in making people choose the car rather than the train. |

The same with RMT▸ too. Its the conditions being ripped up that matter |
