If what's posted on another forum is true the chaos we saw in the 1990s when ASLEF members refused to work overtime and services didn't run for months until new drivers were trained up is nothing in comparison to what we are about to see. It's likely to be December before all services are reinstated, while the promised September uplift will not be in time for the schools restarting and will not include reinstating the last train on most routes. And to make matters worse DfT have apparently said Northern will not be required to provide replacement services in lieu of missing trains!
