Disruptions and driver shortages
Disruptions and driver shortages
(17 Jan 2022, 3:50 pm)Adrian Allegedly. I've just checked services again on the corridors I looked at earlier, and I can see a cancellation on each now. Leaving under 2 hours notice.Google shows the live tracking information (or it used to), so I don't see why it wouldn't show cancellations
It seems to be two completely different strategies from two operators; one gives you a list in advance as a worst-case scenario, which is regularly updated throughout the day with journeys being reinstated. Others are reinstated with no notice. The other gives you a vague warning that some journeys will be disrupted, but publishes the cancellation with minimal notice.
I don't think there's anything wrong with either strategy to be honest, but it'd be nice to have some consistency in approach and not be forced down unhelpful operator specific routes. For example, the two journeys I've referenced as cancelled in the Arriva app are still showing as options on Google Maps - why isn't that filtered through with open data?
