How many TOCs have announced things like this?
https://www.fromthemurkydepths.co.u...to-be-significantly-cut-tomorrow-due-to-heat/
As it points out running fewer trains on a working weekday at short notice (albeit summer holidays) is ripe for overcrowding on those services remaining. No London suburban Southeastern stock has air con. Not many can simply not go to work.
Could we see another Lewisham type incident if any problems arise with people decamping from overcrowded trains if waiting too long? And in this heat any time on a networker is not much fun with a normal service. Is it better to run no trains at all or a full service at restricted speed - though admittedly that sounds a nightmare to plan but still better than significantly reduced?
