.............and here we go again, for another weekend - I wonder if we will get to a point in the foreseeable future when GWR▸ aren't telling its customers to "only travel if absolutely necessary and change plans if possible"?
Might take a bit longer to resolve now Louise Haigh has quit. |

Might take a bit longer to resolve now Louise Haigh has quit. Interesting hypothesis given her caving in to ASLEF» with a "no strings" pay award that made no progress on Sunday working. |

National Rail is reporting that a shortage of a train crew means services across the CrossCountry network are disrupted. As a result, trains across a number of routes will be cancelled, and this will last all day.
They have ticket acceptance with GWR▸ and are encouraging customers to use their services as an alternative - that may make things even cosier.

No option but to make a “no strings”. All TOCs▸ are on different T&C’s! Should have been left as each individual TOC negotiated its own pay deals. |

Looking at today's shambles on the map, I'd suggest they book a few more. |

It's got considerably worse.....
Cancellations to services between Reading and Gatwick Airport
Due to a shortage of train crew between Reading and Gatwick Airport some lines are closed.
Train services running to and from these stations will be cancelled. Disruption is expected until 18:00 02/12.
Customer Advice
Due to shortage of train crew, we are unable to provide a train service from Gatwick Airport to Reading.

That doesn't seem be the case looking at what ran and didn't run on RTT» , which looks a little better than Worcester_Passenger's screenshot rather than considerably worse. The 14:54 RDG‡-GTW ran and the evening return trip to Shalford has been reinstated. |

Crew will be juggled about and favours of crew asked which often results in services being reinstated during the course of the day. No one likes a cancellation announcement minutes before a departure! |

At least the crazy notion of the railways being privatised is coming to a rapid end, along with the façade of independence from government. It should be all back in public hands within not much more than a decade. There will be serious negotiations with the unions they get the best of each TOC's T&Cs for everyone across the board, after which the government of the day can start talking about weekend working. |

... and rail fares will inevitably have to increase, just to pay for all that.  |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.
