How does a public railway employ MORE staff but run FEWER trains? 🚩
SWR is failing its 2% cancellation target (currently 4.6%) in part due to crew shortages & training backlogs.
What’s the plan @Heidi_Labour? AND When will the FULL timetable be restored? @SW_Help#SWRWatch
@swtrains_watch@SW_Help And the @SW_Help “ peoples’ railway” continues to skip stations - including major hubs like Clapham Junction - when services (particularly suburban) are running six or seven minutes late! @Heidi_Labour what are you doing. The #Nero if Britain’s railways
The rudest woman working for state owned (serving the people not the shareholders) @SW_Help - platform 5/6 at Waterloo this evening so 19:35. Could not explain why trains are skipping stations if they are five minutes late. Let’s ask the controller @Heidi_Labour
Thanks newly nationalised @SW_Help
Two successive trains from Richmond to CLJ have been cancelled. One will go straight through. This is the nationalised railway for the passengers not the shareholders, @Heidi_Labour
I have just watched the @BBCLondonNews bulletin. A report on the @LondonUNDERGRND strike. But no request for a comment from #TfL chair @MayorofLondon who promised no strikes in “my mayoralty”! Where is he? Where is your journalistic rigour?
Well done to the state-run rail operator @SW_Help….. No services through Wimbledon because of clearly advertised #engineeringworks, but then you cancel trains on the Putney side. Still #cantrunarailway. What was the purpose of nationalisation, @Keir_Starmer
Well, go back to privatisation of SWT, when on day one Glenda Jackson, Opposition spokesperson for Transport in London criticised the SWT delays…. They were the result of engineering works…. not operator performance…. What’s good for the goose….
