Answer
An immediate and near total cessation of drivers volunteering to work passenger trains on rest days meant Avanti West Coast (AWC) was unable to resource its timetable. To mitigate the impact of short notice cancelations on passengers, the Department endorsed a temporary reduction from seven to four trains per hour (tph) on 14 August 2022.
