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
Howdy @GNRailUK! Are the disruptions at MEL likely to continue into the morning? 🤞 the track elves fix the OHLE. #stormdoris #meldreth
Replying to @GNRailUK
hey Neil, this was the 12:55 CBG to KGX. I get off at MEL.
Morning @GNRailUK ticket machine at MEL is not working (again) and no staff (again). Oh and train delayed (again)
Replying to @GNRailUK
haha no worries! That's a nice way of putting it...
Replying to @GNRailUK
@GNRailUK so the 8:45 at MEL didn't stop... quite literally straight through. Plenty of brake dust! #couldntmakeitup
@alex_brooker oh dear! Would have thought @RomeshRanga could have got you better seats! Enjoy the show mate!
So this little engineering beauty turned up this morning! Awesome work @AlpineLabs! #pulse can't wait to play!
