    GTR Summer Holiday Cancellations

    0605 Littlehampton to London Bridge not running next week

    Disagree - Long Term Planning focuses on the whole timetable period. Plus school term dates do vary a little from year to year, that information isn't always available at timetable submission at D-40.
