it's as dry as a Ginsters pasty I like that! As I remember being lectured by a Cornish member of the Coffee Shop forum, long ago in the past (although I can't find it, to quote it here), "Ginsters is not a proper pasty: wrong pastry, wrong filling".  |

Railway communications slide towards being a complete word salad, don't they. The usual number of trains needed for the Looe branch is precisely one. In that context 'More than the usual number of trains needing repair' sounds particularly barking, but it's a phrase that needs to be dropped completely as it projects incompetence.

Presumably it translates to the allocated train has broken.

Presumably it translates to the allocated train has broken.
Or it could mean that the Looe train has been borrowed to operate another service with better financial return. Perfectly logical from the point-of-view of the railway, but it dooms some lines to having a permanently crap reliability, deterring passengers... and hence poor financial return... |

The poverty of the phrasing in the information that the industry has evolved in these comms is quite something, but I can't quite come up with an analogy that fits the root cause. What has happened?
-
At our maintenance depot, a drain has blocked, resulting in a swamp and an influx of crocodiles on the trains brought into service.
-
What are we doing about it?
-
We are working to remove the crocodiles as quickly as possible.
-
What are your options?
-
We are sorry if you were bitten today, these are the current options available to you:
-
Option 1: If there are helicopter companies who may be able to help you make your journey, we will provide details here.
-
Option 2: We have requested local hovercraft ticket acceptance, once these are in place further details will be provided.
-
Option 3: If your train has crocodiles on it, you may travel on (insert enormous long sentence describing complicated easement rules: hopefully staff on the ground would simply be pragmatic).
-
Option 4: Consider postponing your journey until the risk of crocodiles on the trains returns to normal.
Note: if you sit on a train seat and feel an uncomfortable bar beneath you, please report this to the train manager, who will arrange for the crocodile to be removed from beneath the seat cushion
