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......  |
I don’t think from the comments so far that anyone is judging any one person?
For my point of view I just believe that if a system is to run efficiently it needs to have all eventualities covered as far as possible. Whatever the reason for the guard not showing up is quite irrelevant. What is relevant was why there was no cover? How do you imagine the passengers felt because of a breakdown in service that should never have happened? It is after all they who pay the wages!
This is a forum where people have views that may differ from everyone else, but hey that’s democracy!
Hope the powers that be, put things right before more customers are lost!!
All the best
