Over the last week I've tried, with varying degrees of success, to travel from Glasgow to Ayrshire a few times.
There has been disruption to services (or a similar nature) and a broadly similar emergency timetable effectively every day.
Initially the disruption was blamed on a points failure, then multiple signal failures, then an unspecified problem with Shields Junction, and today on rolling stock shortages.
Does anyone know exactly what is actually going on?
Also, on one of the trips the train was shown as delayed at Central, then disappeared off the departure boards at the time it should have left with no announcement. I walked round the station to look for it, and found it (though it was a suspiciously empty train for peak time). Does this sort of thing happen often? Is it because of a lack of human intervention in whatever operated the departure boards?
