TBEL 'Bath Spa Christmas Market' railtour. 5th December.

Post by free2grice »

The 'Bath Spa Christmas Market' railtour hauled by 70000 'Britannia' on Wednesday, 5th December has been cancelled. This is due to the DBS train operator unable to supply a train crew (pretty basic stuff I would have thought).

I wonder how often the Eddie Stobart road haulage company cancels truck deliveries due to a lack of drivers?

What a shambles. <BJ>

Yes, and I believe this was intended to be a replacement service for that originally scheduled for Wednesday of this week. That one was cancelled because of lack of a suitable engine - that's a little more understandable!

Pity they couldn't source 70000 'Britannia' which was at Barton Hill. <BJ>
