You know it's really sad how quick people are to judge others. Nowhere does it say he was absent without leave.

We had a similar situation here a few weeks ago. A train was cancelled due to the ubiquitous reason of "driver failed to turn up".

It turns out he was in Teneriffe. Quite legitimately in fact, as rosters had granted him leave and forgotten to cover his job.

It takes many people to a make railway run, but everybody blames the TRAINCREW when a train is late or cancelled.

You would have thought that on a railway forum, of all places, people might be a little bit wiser......
