    Avanti West Coast Cancellations

    Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knew if there's any issues with Avanti currently? Cancellations seem to of spiked in the last week with a lot more cancelled today. Sickness? Work to rule? Just not enough traincrew?

    Not the ROSCO's fault TPE couldn't be bothered running their stock with extra capacity to be fair.

    Storm Isha may affect your journey in parts of England, Scotland and Wales on Sunday 21 and Monday 22 January

    Nice let off for the TOCs who struggle rostering Sundays. I bet all the Cancellations will be J and X codes for weather. Nice little earner for them today

    DB-Schenker for sale

    Even then you have 66s as core traction which are getting long in the tooth. The 66/0s are getting tired. Most operators looking at the next 66 currently

    Avanti West Coast contract extended for six months

    You can walk into any FOC around the Carlisle area if you are already qualified. Colas, DB and GB have active adverts for such positions. Freightliner did at the end of 2022 and DRS always interested in transfers

    Overuse of "Waiting at Signal" button?

    Quite common on the freight side of things. Commonly NR will claim an FE or FC delay in a yard during relief if the Driver hasn't pressed SG.

    Overuse of "Waiting at Signal" button?

    That is not the case. Pressing the SG does show up on reports which Network Rail can run. Many disputes have been won with evidence of the SG being pressed by the driver. Delays are relevant to drivers and form KPI's in many companies.
