Yet they expect their workers on the ground, getting people from A to B, to take any flack for them. When LNER do it, they're doing it in the knowledge that it's their staff on the platforms or on the trains that get the flack instead.
Let's just call it out for what it is. It's cowardly.
I'd imagine so, and of course next it'll be the drivers fault for asking for pay increases inline with inflation. Anything to deflect from the failure to grow the business over years and years.
Next tranche of drivers leaving?
Subsequently the next lot of cancellations occurring? How about the next lot of passengers changing their routine and routes being culled as a result?
Yet they seem to be surprised...
