Several late and cancelled trains on the Manchester route this evening, including, apparently, the last Manchester-Euston at 21:15. NRE showing shortage of traincrew as the reason.
The previous 20:15 left over half an hour late, it looks like its incoming Down train was cancelled so has presumably used the set from the next arrival.
What's the protocol in this case? I don't know what the usage of the 21:15 is like, but I can imagine some rather p'd off passengers turning up for the 21:15 at various points en-route, and finding that there isn't one.
Are AWC going to supply taxis, or would they have been better delaying the 20:15 by a full hour to take passengers for the 21:15 as well (acknowledging that this decision could be influenced by other factors like traincrew hours)?
I can't say I'd be overly thrilled by a 188 mile taxi ride!
