So it's looking ike a bit of a problem at the moment with Avanti West Coast, particularly the services from Glasgow.
2 days in a row that there have been 2 morning trains in a row cancelled due to shortage of train crew (I was affected by it yesterday and couldn't get to London as a result) - 0532 & 0630 yesterday and the 0737 & 0836 were cancelled out of Glasgow today. All services resumed at Preston.
Is the company having issues at the moment? When I was getting a refund for my tickets yesterday, they said there were overtime issues and that they struggle to find staff to do morning services (or something along those lines). It doesn't give me much confidence to use them again in the near future if there's an even remotely high chance of cancellation due to crew not turning up. Seems like a particular issue with morning trains, not enough people on standby around Glasgow?
