I was in Stafford early on and was wondering what was wrong the service. 220032 and 220017 was working it. Normally its 4 or 5 car voyager on its own. Still there when I left at 1353.



Thanks.

XC long distance services are altered over the festive period with hourly services South West > Scotland via East Coast and hourly services Manchester > Bournemouth. Yesterday services on the East Coast were chaos with most formed of single Voyagers; many services were so busy people couldn't fit on.

You're right there. Most TOCs are operating a normal Weekday or Saturday service, and CrossCountry are operating less than their normal Sunday service, using as few trains as possible.

They wouldn't have even needed more rolling stock yesterday. They were running half of their normal services!
