It was the post about the 50 that made me think of it although I've seen them post that phrase before. What confused me was the fact that I'd it was a breakdown, they usually say "due to a breakdown" or if it's a delay they say something like "due to delays on the inbound journey", which is why I thought operational issues would be neither of those things?
My own thoughts are that it's an easy cop out for them.
It could mean many things, but experience/cynicism gives me the impression that the vagueness of it indicates that its something to do with maintenance or a rota issue.
Looks easier on the eye than something along the lines of a 'breakdown' or 'lack of available drivers'.
