Has anyone got a list of the 2% of services cancelled, or could this figure largely be down to natural fluctuation for things like engineering works (which can decrease, and in some cases increase, the daily service plan)? For example, that can be the only thing that led to Caledonian Sleeper's 0.3% increase surely?
I ask, because the next figure in the stats John D linked to, covers the whole year (April 2025 to March 2026), and shows a very marginal increase for GWR▸ of 0.2% over April 2024 to March 2025?

Another day of shortage of train crew (so services cancelled) for some of our local services.
In addition to which. did I spot five short formed express services with only 5 cars to/from London.
I would like to think things will slowly improve as new crews are qualified and trains resume full length soon.

As ever I think there are some other shortforms not mentioned on Journeycheck.
The 08:48 London Paddington to Pembroke Dock should be 10 as far as Swansea before the rear five continues to West Wales.
Today it is five all the way but at least, unlike last week, it is getting past Swansea.

True, but given the current and ongoing issues caused by "severe" weather, signal failures,"more trains than usual needing repairs at the same time" aka too hot to be driven, falling trees etc etc we should probably be grateful for every small mercy! |

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.

Didn’t look too bad at all today. Sunday might be worse as although we got knocked out the HSS▸ drivers that can make themselves not available would have needed to do so before last nights result was known, as they need to give 5 days notice. |

Cancellations to services between Liskeard and Looe
Due to a shortage of train crew between Liskeard and Looe fewer trains are able to run on the line.
Train services running to and from these stations have been cancelled. Disruption is expected until the end of the day.
Customer Advice
Regretfully limited train crew are available in some Cornish regions today, and so the decision has been taken to suspend the Liskeard to Looe service.

Cancellations to services between St Erth and St Ives
Due to a shortage of train crew between St Erth and St Ives fewer trains are able to run on the line.
Train services running to and from these stations have been cancelled. Disruption is expected until 12:00 16/08.
Customer Advice
Regretfully limited train crew are available in some Cornish regions today, and so the decision has been taken to suspend the St Erth to St Ives service until midday.
Double decker buses, provided by Dartline Coaches, will be operating along the route, and will St Erth and St Ives as close as possible to train departure times.
