Title: Mass cancellations - now in Scotland too. Post by: grahame on April 24, 2019, 21:36:10 From the Southern Reporter (https://www.thesouthernreporter.co.uk/news/traffic-and-travel/borders-rail-bosses-under-fire-for-axeing-15-services-in-one-day-1-4914602)
Quote Borders Railway bosses have come in for criticism for mass cancellations of trains on the Tweedbank-to-Edinburgh route less than a week after the firm’s chief executive promised that improvements were imminent. No fewer than 15 scheduled services were cancelled on the 30-mile line on Sunday as drivers were not available. There are, of course, those of us who don't even have 15 services on a Sunday!!

From a document I've seen it says the Sunday stopping service from Reading to Paddington will be two 9-car Class 345 trains per hour stopping all stations Reading to Southall, then Ealing Broadway and Paddington, and one 8-car Class 387 GWR service from Didcot to Paddington calling (after Reading) at Twyford, Maidenhead, Slough, Hayes, Southall, Ealing Broadway and Paddington. So looking good. Unless it's a typo, and it's a GWR document rather than a MTR Crossrail/TfL Rail one.
