A lot of train operators are now running a near normal or normal timetable. But even when they were not, stock, driver and on train crew still had to be in the right place for the next service. The driver and on train crew don’t always stay on the same train for the whole journey.I run a bus and coach company, must of our drivers are off throughput the summer period as they are pro ratio, perhaps it’s something government should think more about with these branch lines, if the buses can cope this summer covering for trains, could be a long term possibility for permanently being buses
on note of spare capacity I would have thought railways would too as the demand on peak hour travel has drastically reduced
