Why do they keep canceling evening trains from Girvin to Stranraer

[bkhtele]

Does anyone know the problem on the line between Girvan to Stranraer. They have again cancelled the evening service to/from Stranraer. Yet the late service 23.01 appears ok.

Not been made aware of this one, will watch this for the next few days
Most likely it is a diagram issue, which results in either a staff member not being available or the provided unit being low on fuel such it cannot complete the diagram

You cant run a train with a tree on the line ......(it was cleared)

Thanks, I checked 2/3 days apart and the same train was cancelled. I was worried I might have a problem when I travel in early November!

That is the second tree on the line recently - wet weather and unstable soil conditions. Been several in other places too. There is no conspiracy theory.

There is no conspiracy theory.

Unless Dr.Beeching planted the trees?
