Stupid amount of cancellations today, there must be no disciplinary procedure or they can't afford to lose the drivers, guards etc.

That's not their best trick!
15:39 Birmingham to Rugeley delayed by signal failure at Bescot so terminated at Hednesford to put it back on time, passengers for Rugeley dumped at Hednesford. Both the next two trains 16:07 and 16:39 are cancelled no staff, so  over one hour wait at Hednesford for those dumped there!

Off to the bus station to cram onto an MPD then! This is precisely what's wrong with public transport in this country.

Shouldn't Govia been fined by the Dft or even have the term of their franchise cut due to poor performance?

I was referring to more general/regular lack of driver issues / resulting in cancellations etc

I've noticed a few pendalino's being diverted through Bescot today is this due to enginerring works around Wolverhampton or signalling problems there.

The privatised railway system is a shambles, even vile Mrs T described it as a 'privatisation too far', so thats saying something! It costs more to the taxpayer now in subsidy than it did as BR! Why wont any party commit to rebationalisation when its been confirmed time after time after time thats what the majority of the public want?

Discodave

But will that show improvement and with this broke government fares would go up even quicker to pay for abu hamza

London midland are due to compensate its long suffering patrons with a variety of rail fare concessions in the near future.
This will apply to weekly/monthly and season ticket holders. (Details to be announced.)
Mind the Gap.....?:-)
