Sleeper seems to be loaded back into the schedule, at least for night of 25 Jun (this Thursday), but can’t get any fares to load anywhere. Normally it’s only available on the GWR site, but the screenshot is from there - no fares available.....
UFN?
Thanks, not a worry mateUntil Further Notice, apologies.
Down sleeper 9th & 10th July will allow seated bookings now.
Service runs mon to fri from mon 20 July. Still seated only. Further update due early August.
It's hardly a sleeper service anyway if only the seats are in use. Sounds like torture.So just missing the Sunday night? Suppose there are few if any workers in the London area from the West Country who would need the sleeper on a Sunday night right now.

Odd that the berths aren't in use, could run at it's usual capacity if they were.
It seems bizarrely backwards. Surely the cabins are the definition of social distancing!
Not going into detail but you've hit the nail on the head. Demand is currently well below usual whilst people are cautious.
No overtime whilst 'nationalised ' so no Sunday drivers also.
Only Sundays are outside railway working week (on some TOC's even Sundays are rostered as part of normal week)But technically some drivers work on a Saturday albeit only the morning.
That ones news to me. Still plenty of sunday workers at Plymouth.....Not going into detail but you've hit the nail on the head. Demand is currently well below usual whilst people are cautious.

That's blatantly untrue.No overtime whilst 'nationalised ' so no Sunday drivers also.
So are GWR running no trains at all on a Sunday then?No overtime whilst 'nationalised ' so no Sunday drivers also.
