Good morning people. Unless you can't change your plans, I'd avoid GWR services as well as XC - even the probably vital 08:05 from London to Penzance (vital as this provides Wiltshire with a through service to the South West and Somerset with a big train in the morning also to the South West) is also cancelled. Look at JourneyCheck and you'll see what I mean.
I know staff have personal reasons for coming in but I'm struggling to think that all the staff rostered to work these services have these reasons.
I believe if I've seen it on here correctly that staff don't want to do overtime? Understandable yes, but disrupting peoples journeys (some who would have planned these for many months) isn't acceptable.
I hope my Leeds trip isn't disrupted on the 29/09/19 (16:06 from Oxford to Leeds and the 18:03 from there) because of train crew shortages!
It's also unfair that passengers suffer and pick up the pieces whilst many staff get to enjoy time off.
