roberton Oct 2019 8:07pm, 3 Oct 2019 361 posts	Quote Pin roberton My trip last night involved me getting on a train at Manchester Oxford Road, waiting about 10 minutes, then tannoy announcing there was no driver. Pretty sure someone had left the engine running anyway (they’re diesels). Anyway it was fine, went to a different platform to catch the stopping version of the same train and although it was late, and slower, I wasn’t epically late for me tea 😋

The whole of today, Thameslink was buggered due to 'broken down train'. Their website advised: do not travel. To what extent can Thameslink be called an actual travel company?
