Ghost trains were they? Really?This sort of treatment is just going to stop people using it as it becomes less and less dependable. Nobody wants that additional stress when travelling.
Even if they didn't, they were more or less running ghost trains so it would hardly have been a stressful shift most nights
Some more research required!
During early lockdown, people from all over the world were arriving and departing from UK airports. Many used the Sleeper as National Express had suspended coach services.
The sleeper ran continuously, a fair amount of "essential travellers" in addition to NHS staff, who were afforded free travel, and all the above mentioned international travellers, dogs, cats in baskets and an incredible amount of luggage didn't really make for a stress free shift for on board staff!
