    Cross Country Service Reductions and Alterations, 28-11-2021 onwards

    Perhaps the rail industry should come in line with bus industry and hgv industry the job runs Monday to Sunday so working a 5 over 7 instead of a 5 over 6. Hgv and psv drivers wages combined wouldn’t equal the salary of a train driver, so don’t expect any sympathy
