Title: JourneyCheck Bloopers Post by: grahame on August 04, 2021, 04:58:08 Not for the first time, I read something on JourneyCheck which has me scratching my head. So I'm starting a thread to post them - lighter side stuff, through with a hope that they don't become so common to see that they dilute the proper use of the alert system.
Quote 13:11 Weymouth to Bristol Temple Meads due 15:31 will be delayed at Bristol Temple Meads. This is due to a shortage of train crew. Further Information Customers travelling from unstaffed stations are requested to make use of the Customer Help Point systems available, or contact National Rail Enquiries on 03457 484 950 detailing the total number of passengers travelling, and their intended destinations. This will enable us to get suitable road replacement transport to customers as quickly as possible. If you hold a valid single, return, or weekly ticket, you will be able to claim compensation for delays of 15 minutes or more.

Including one minute delays.
Another good example is tonight's up sleeper, "diverted between Taunton and Reading" Still expected to make all booked stops and to be on time at London, so why mention it.

This is due to a shortage of train crew. Will be formed of 3 coaches instead of 5.

The diversion meant it did not make its unadvertised staff call at Swindon. While any affected people should have picked it up from the internal systems it might just have alerted someone who may have missed the news.

The train that is not supposed to be stopping at Swindon won't be stopping at Swindon."
