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.

just looked on site and found all Walsall trains are up the shitter again so even more trains cancelled for the chase line so if you want to go to rugeley you are stuffed no buses today to there

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

A train fault and signalling problems in the Malvern area but apart from that LM trains seem to be running well  :)

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.)

The boss of London Midland was on TV earlier this week and said that details of the compensation scheme would be announced tomorrow (Friday)...

Was something about a free London Midland network dayticket for everyone who had a season ticket during the few months of disruption
