What a Way to Run a Railway!
London Midland ran no trains on Sunday. There were a few, but they weren’t useful for anybody who lives between Birmingham and London.
Why?
Because their employment contract for the drivers said that Sunday working was voluntary. Which meant that when the company started to change the rules on pay, it all went pear-shaped as no-one volunteered.
I hope the Rail Regulator takes a dim view of this, because railways are a public service and not one for the primary benefit of owners and staff.
