After last Sunday's fiasco, more cancellations for lack of drivers on
Great Northern tonight, plus, I gather, some on Thameslink this time.

Are Govia incapable of retaining drivers? And how much worse will it
get before they do something more effective to retain their drivers?

So far their only response has been about how many drivers they have
in training. They won't be available to drive trains until some time
in the Spring at the earliest.

And now a similar GN non-service has been announced for tomorrow. It seems
all Foxton, Shepreth & Meldreth get is a taxi.

A few of the London trains are class 1, making the trip in as little as 66
minutes instead of the class 2s in 83.

Back to the future!
