@EastMidRailway Every weekend. How much more engineering work with line closures is required.? Every weekend for over 6 years give or take an odd exception. Most routes only require full weekend line closures once every few years not each weekend.
@BigC_019@EastMidRailway Yep I couldn't even attempt to get on a service today, so many crammed in they couldn't shut the doors. Having to travel to Long Eaton (on other crammed EMR Matlock service due to the other incompetent toc XC Sunday cancellations) in order to get to another overcrowded service.
@EastMidRailway@Arsenal Nothing new , always rammed especially on Sundays. Not helped by EMR only providing 5 cars instead of the usual 10 on the 1310 Nottingham London service. What's worse is the TM tried to move all the standing in first class to move to standard standing spaces NON available!
@CrossCountryUK Suprise surprise. Why not just say "all service mat be cancelled due to the fact we won't hire and pay staff to work weekends". At the same time "All services between Nottingham and Cardiff are pure fiction as we don't care"
@EastMidRailway Another excuse . Temperatures up to the weekend forecast between 24-28 degrees, nothing unusual in what is almost the summer peak. Had similar last year without the mass failures and cancellations. Its EMR cutting back on A/C maintenance which is the real issue.
@Andrewislington@EastMidRailway Even with seat reservations, no seats as the pathic EMR units have only half the capacity of the older high speed trains. Trains are so rammed everyone just takes up the seats even when they were reserved.
@CrossCountryUK Well done XC ! Not only are the usual "staff shortages" rife again but you trains are failing too. 1520 from Leicester cancelled and everyone will be pushed onto the late running 1550 , more standing ! Thanks to you I'll miss my connection at Nuneaton
@CrossCountryUK Too late. Missed connection (charter) so no other service. Now on the very delayed 1550 but this has ONLY TWO USABLE CARS !!!! I want the CEO contact address ( not customer services) now please.
@PoonamMcpoo@EastMidRailway In theory no as it's a less revenue day and greedy EMR don't have the extra staff on https://t.co/ueRLqc8Mf7 was chaos ,forest fans been funneled over the concourse bridge ! And they claim it's for "safety". !
@mitchell_hurd@CrossCountryUK Weather has nothing to do with it. This happens every day,every week.XC are a joke. Nottingham services always get the brunt of cancellations.
@EastMidRailway When did XC managment take over EMR ? Overcrowded trains, short forms, staff shortages all taken out of XCs book. Sent from a chronically overcrowded Matlock Lincoln service
@CrossCountryUK Once again , virtually no service to from Nottingham today due to the XC moronic policy of not employing staff who work weekends. 6 years of promises about more staff and STILL the same , cancel ,cancel ,cancel.
@EastMidRailway 1441 from Long Eaton to London was NOT cancelled.EMR chose to abandon customers at LE and EMP as they were 12 minutes late. As usual EMR attitude of operational / Staff convenience over customers.
