75% of the passengers that normally travel won't, because of the huge extra journey time and the inconvenience of changing to the diesel train en route. Far more economical to convey the residue by bus in this instance.
Well, that solves the dire overcrowding issues that have been put forward by some as an excuse not to run a train diversion.
So its acceptable to drag your stuff off a train and put it on another one, then do the same again for another train but not for a coach which could potentially be quicker that a diverted train? I don't think that is the premise behind "keeping people on a train"
Well, I do. To put it another way, if I have to be turfed off the train anyway, I'd rather be put on another train, than a bus. The bus would have to be a lot quicker for most people to choose it.
I agree with @RT4038 , if it were me and I was told I am changing train twice, the fact I'm changing train twice would make me bin it off.
Sometimes one has to travel, if one has to work the next day, for example.
Of course, if you are in a position to travel another day, this conversation doesn't really affect you.
