Sorry for adding yet another operator to the list of discussions here...
Recently, an alarming number of cancellations appear to be affecting huge swathes of the WMR network, for a variety of reasons according to RTT, PIS screens etc., but primarily staff shortages. Presumably this has something to do with the overtime bans continuing at the moment, but why has WMR seemingly got no idea what trains they will be able to run until quite late in the day, and why are they being hit quite as hard as they are? Things haven't been this bad during previous overtime bans, and other operators seem to be able to cope much better. Additionally, buses have been replacing certain Hereford trains with no explanation. Travel with them is becoming untenable, what on earth is going on?
