What about the driver side of things? It's GBRf that provide the traction and drivers throughout on all trains. So limited amount of drivers. Limited amount of traction. As that failure on 1B11 shows, lack of drivers with route knowledge. Surely if Scotrail then all drivers on route would sign the traction.
That night was just a night of unfortunate circumstances but will probably happen again unless some sort of contingency plan is put into place.
A back up Class 73 and crew at Fort William might have helped. Expensive things to have sat around we know, but what price bad customer service?
The Caledonian Sleeper name is getting slated big time at the moment. Will they fully recover from that?
I love rail travel, best way to travel, on descent trains that is, but I'll not now travel with CS again until some reliability is forthcoming.
I'm a driver I know anything can happen on the day but this is just crazy now.
CS can't even get the empties off depot on time. Something's got to give.
