There is one thing I don’t understand about this. After the May 2018 debacle there was much talk, mainly from Grayling, about an industry readiness board which I hadn’t heard of until then. If this board still exists how did this get through? It was obvious to any interested outsider that a TOC that was using about 5 or 6 of the new trains per day and cancelling many of those services due to lack of trained crew right up until the timetable change wasn’t in any position to suddenly start using 20 of them per day. How could people within the industry whose job it is “sanity check” changes not see that?
There isn't a problem with the timetable its a lack of staff which was also crippling services before the change.
