Puts on rail replacement busses and does rail engineering work the weeks before Christmas when everyone needs to get into the city/town. What a joke. So my Christmas shopping day has now been spent doing 4 hours on a bus instead of 90 mins on a train. Grrrrrr |

People who have to do engineering work I guess. I mean, just a guess, but I imagine that you know, it needs doing... Sorry for your inconvenience, can't give rail maintenance December off in case you need to shop though. |

That is awful. Every minute is precious at this time of year. |

What if it was essential maintenance to carry out a repair.. or safety critical work to keep the train on the tracks?? Dunno about you but I don’t really want to see a catastrophic train derailment on the news whilst tucking into my turkey!!
yes it’s inconvenient, but I don’t think “they” do it deliberately… just food for thought! |

My take on this.
Weve just had a virus situation crews could have been staggered for work being done.
Dosnt matter what job they do crews can stagger there work.
I know alot of rail track has been delivered and as long as the crews was staggered for fitting and injections if they wanted it.
But all crews could have used a rotation system and that includes in many industrys.
Buiding trade has had to do so why cant other trades. |

I’ve calmed down now and I see your points. It was just annoying at the time and a minor inconvenience especially stuck on a bus for 4 hours!!!! However I’m home with Christmas music on and wrapping the presents I’ve bought. Just needed a rant at the time. |
