Looking at the above, it's to avoid points having to change.
Also, if it's running slower, it missed its booked path, if you ran it right through, the service it forms after would leave late, and become more and more delayed over the course of the day.
I don't understand how staff are being disrespectful by working the days they're employed to.
Perhaps TOC's should employ enough drivers to run the service that they're paid to do?
Is it possibly the other side of the bridge being replaced at Newton, new deck is in place over the Newton station side of the tracks, WCML side needing done?
Definitely would be best to vinyl. Not too closely aware of the issues down there but stock availability seems to be a massive problem. I couldn't see the campaigners being happy if they'd taken out of service to replace carpet, lots more work than the seat covers.

PIS systems in general are terrible IMO. Ridiculously hard to sort out faults with and the dot LED displays almost always look odd. Better to run a normal LCD screen that can show more info.
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
