Thanks @natfrac so does that mean an empty train *is* profitable - if it arrives at its destination on time/reduces overall delays?

I just wish they would sort out a reliable service first and then deal with punctuality later. It’s not like we have an alternative option when trains are cancelled

Which makes sense given that’s how companies generally operate. But cancelling a service costs them (delay repay, late fines etc). An empty train is not profitable, a late running train is slightly less profitable.

I get that. But you’ve just kicked everyone off a train that was perfectly fine. Flooded the station at SVG with even more passengers. When will you TOCs realise no one cares trains are late we’re used to it. But cancelling perfectly good trains and watching an empty train depart

@GNRailUK @TLRailUK why are you cancelling a perfectly goood train at SVG? We don’t care it was running an hour late! Or that our train at MEL was cancelled without anyone telling us. just do your job!

@GNRailUK so the 8:45 at MEL didn't stop... quite literally straight through. Plenty of brake dust! #couldntmakeitup
