Oh, this will go well, surely
More train timetable changes are set to come into force on May 19 as more than 1,000 extra services are added in a bid to tackle overcrowding.
It comes a year after passengers faced chaos when the introduction of new schedules crippled large parts of the network in the north and south-east of England. The Rail Delivery Group said it had ‘learned the lessons’ from last year’s disruption and that new services were only being introduced where there was ‘high confidence’ infrastructure, staffing plans and trains would be ready.
Following last May’s timetable launch, Govia Thameslink Railway and Northern cancelled up to 470 and 310 trains respectively each day. Train companies, government-owned infrastructure company Network Rail and Transport Secretary Chris Grayling have all been blamed for the chaos.
