Disruptions and driver shortages
Disruptions and driver shortages
(07 Sep 2021, 9:07 pm)DeltaMan Great Western Railway posted a news story a few weeks back when they had a problem on a specific Sunday with a mixture of stock and driver availability. The page listed every service which WASN'T covered in the days leading up to the Sunday and it was updated periodically over the the preceding days when trips were covered.Covid difficulties ? This is Brexit in action. EU bus drivers have gone home.
I wonder if GNE (or other operators for that matter) could do something similar as a "cards on the table" given the current Covid related difficulties.
At least customers would know there is a potential problem instead of not knowing until a few minutes before while controllers desperately try to get trips covered.
