Department of Transport, operators and unions must guarantee staff to run full train services
“The Department for Transport, train operators and unions have a duty to guarantee there are always enough staff,” said the Liberal Democrat Shadow Transport Secretary.
Commenting on the cancellation of around 50 services by First Capital Connect due to staff shortages, Norman Baker said:
“This is the second time in a few days First Capital Connect has allowed this farcical situation to happen.
“The Department for Transport, train operators and unions have a duty to guarantee there are always enough staff to run full services.
“This disruption will cause misery for many commuters who are already hit by huge increases in fares and then have the pleasure of being crammed into overcrowded carriages.”
