Without going into specific details , there was a significant financial enhancement offered for drivers to work their Sundays , as expected this led to an increase in volunteers for Sunday working . Don't care what you say everyone has a price .
Being cynical perhaps but this is something I can see the government funding for political reasons .
They get the headline "we got Sunday services running again" , and as with every headline , only people that actually look at the finer details will be any the wiser about what has actually happened and how it is only a short term fix .
Moderator note: This thread is going the same way as the Financial difficulty at northern thread; rather than have multiple discussions in one thread, please feel free to create a new thread for each issue, or use an existing one where appropriate.
There is a thread for suggesting improvements to restructure the Northern network here: https://www.railforums.co.uk/thread...e-reliability-and-financial-viability.183660/
