This might become my top watched thread! Today's morning train was the standard 'on time until Castlefield, sit in queue of trains, 15 minutes late'. Train home was ok tonight. Cancelled last night...

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 yesterday, Thameslink was buggered due to 'damage to overhead power lines'. Their website advised: do not travel.
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?

you'd think TL would have a plan for dealing with a broken down train that went beyond cancelling almost everything for over 12 hours.

Broken down train between Liverpool and Warrington. Non arriving train crew on the homeward bound service out from Manchester. So much for leaving early....
