That might be why some TPE service are empty today then!

Hardly the case with moving percentages though.....

The latest TPE report for week commencing 1st March shows an improved position, but still with some way to go to achieve what passengers will consider adequate, let alone good levels of service.
Against a target for PPM of 84.8% overall, achievement was 81.46%.
North hit 84.13% against a target of 84.5%, South got 83.39% against a 90% target. Scotland did badly at 64.21% against a target of 82.5% - overhead wires down at Carlisle hit that one.
A real mixed bag of reasons - blown up ATM at Berwick being one we're unlikely to come across again!
Only 2 short forms on South Pennine, which is a barometer for how things are probably settling down elsewhere as we get our planned number of 185s into service - and by local reports they've all been open for use on the core Manchester Piccadilly to Sheffield section.

At least one TPE line seems to be reliably producing doubled-up units.
Hence why I shared the % retrospectively.
Not sure which route you’re implying hasn’t had the appropriate units? I haven’t seen any short-forms on my commute across the north route on the Hull services this week?

Given the current situation regarding the covid-19 outbreak, it’s hardly surprising.
Some of my TPE colleagues are having to take time off due to not having childcare available. Grandparents have suddenly become not available and schools and nurseries have closed. I’m on leave right now, but with two kids both now off school one of which is autistic, a wife with a heart condition, myself with asthma, will I even be able to attend work next week or will I have to stay off and isolate with my family? Bit difficult when I also have discos booked for this and next weekend both expecting to go ahead still....

True & going by yesterday Avanti still seemed capable of providing a decent service.

Complete lies. If you have symptoms or someone who lives in your household has symptoms, you should self-isolate for 7 or 14 days respectfully. During this time you would receive sick pay.
Being in a “high-risk group” has no relevance to sick pay. Anybody who falls in this category should speak to their manager to see if any relevant adjustments could be made. People who just decide to go off on the basis that “they might get it” are not entitled to sick pay.
This is the Government’s advice as per RDG.

Really? It depends on your T&C, of course.
When my firm was privatised everyone who took a new contract went on to the statutory minimum, i.e nothing at all for 3 days then about £90 a week after that. Rather different to full pay for 6 months on the BR T&C.
If you didn't show commitment to the Company by taking the new contract you got no pay rise... I stuck it for 7 years. Sod them.
Posted on Facebook... staff are getting worried.
I wanted to make people aware how Poorly TPE are treating their staff at such a worrying time.
We’re being told business as usual. No extra precautions have been made to safeguard their staff like there has been on other TOCs.
Main points are -
Staff are still expected to carry on as normal patrolling the train, taking ticket machines and handling money. Even if you are in the vunerable category.
The company have provided no hand santiser or wipes for staff and will not reimburse you if you buy your own. There is only ever cold water on the trains to wash your hands.
If a member of your household shows symptoms you have to finish your shift first.
Many Trains have been sent out without being cleaned and Staff have been pressurised into taking trains out without running water.
They said staff are not classed as high risk.

In all fairness we’re in the midst of a global pandemic, & still at a stage where it’s not yet realistic to expect any individual government let alone a meagre TOC to provide all the perfect solutions

My thoughts after each point in red...
I'm not trying to have an argument here, but when only one side of the story is being presented, it's easy to believe it as fact. My opinion is from the perspective of someone who also 'knows' what's going on in the industry.

That message was swiftly reissued with a clarification. Just a case of words getting mixed up.

Words mixed up?
They were highlighted in bold. Some mixup to freak out your entire workforce. And the correction took a long time to get out.
Sanitizer is and continues to be issued by my TOC, as do cleaning wipes for crews.
Nearly every TOC has instructed guards to remain in the rear cabs.
Trains are allowed to enter service without water. I don't know if that's your TOC's own policy but it's certainly not in the rule book.
I know you cannot stand hearing how tpe isn't all rainbows and sunshine but this is not an isolated incident. It's one mistake and shambles after another.

Don't see the supermarket workers complaining? Or the delivery drivers? And they're on a fraction of what guards/drivers get.
Moderator note: this is now heading off topic. Furthermore, the current situation is unprecedented and a new timetable will be in place from Monday, so if performance with the new timetable continues to be poor, a new thread can be created at that time.
