Service cancelled due to planning error?

Just saw this on RTT and wondered what the error actually was?

2K53 1105 Welwyn Garden City to Moorgate
Great Northern service
This service was cancelled throughout due to a planning error (TI).

"TI Traincrew rostering problem ROSTERING"

That is what the Delay Attribution Guide says, so no surprise there!

I should have checked what the screens said, if anything.

Is this a clever way to hide the issue to customers?!

Not really, RTT isn't intended to be used by normal customers. The Thameslink website says the cancellation is down to "a shortage of train crew".

He means the sources RTT uses are not for use of the general public, RTT is obviously to be used by them.

Something like that which is down to (TI) rostering could be traincrew marked up to RDW by rosters who put themselves N/A, or who have rostered someone who was A/L or even marking to someone to a job where they don't sign the road.

RTT reads TRUST which was never designed for public viewing. It's part of the rail network attributions of delay.

No, it's a simplified translation of the delay attribution code that I chose. Typically the TI code normally went down to someone making a screw up somewhere down the line. I personally still think that it's somewhat of a planning error not having enough crew for something but that's for another discussion
