People planning to travel by rail this weekend have been hit with a warning amid staffing issues.
Passengers using Avanti West Coast services on Saturday face more misery as the operator said it expects to make widespread cancellations. The company, whose reliability recently sank to an all-time low, warned it will not have enough available staff to operate its timetable.
An alert to passengers stated: "Due to unseasonably high staff shortages, we are unfortunately expecting a large number of cancellations on Saturday, January 28. Trains are likely to be extremely busy, and passengers should check their journey online before coming to the station."
