Apologies after Scottish cancellations surge
Many trains in Scotland are being cancelled because of a shortage of drivers. The latest lines to be electrified are the routes between Glasgow Queen Street, Stirling and Dunblane or Alloa, which began to be operated with electric trains on 9 December, as part of the new timetables. But although passengers were promised ‘the best railway Scotland has ever had’, problems have continued because the 385s and also refurbished HSTs have been late arriving.
Christmas present for delayed Northern passengersThe Delay Repay window has been reduced to 15 minutes for passengers on Northern from today. The change follows the first Delay Repay 15-minute window, which was introduced on Govia Thameslink Railway in 2016, replacing the previous 30-minute threshold. The change follows many months of disruption on Northern routes caused by a combination of timetable problems in May and continuing industrial action in the dispute with the RMT over on-train staffing.
