Definitely OTT behaviour from the management, so much for the reliable 24/7 railway we are always being promised. It’s a good job the same managers weren’t in charge during WW2 or no trains would ever have operated during the blitz. This kind of heatlh & safety behaviour is the reason people rely on their cars rather than the railway.
