FUBAR Again (Updated)

Tonights 1800 Liverpool St to Braintree was cancelled after a member of the crew went sick.

What isn't clear is which train the driver who went sick was supposed to be driving; were they scheduled to drive to Braintree? Or were they due to take out a different service and the driver rostered for Braintree was then told to drive their train? My guess is the Braintree service was once again deemed to be the one unimportant enough to be sacrificed.

Whatever, it resulted in 2 full trainloads of passengers being forced to share one resulting in yet another miserable f*cked-up journey for not one, but 2 trainloads of people.

In another triumph for the useless incompetent toerags running NXEA, travellers to Braintree were greeted at Witham with an announcement that buses would be arriving shortly. Can you believe it? Bloody buses again.

I wasn't able to record the times for tonights trains. It's not really relevant given the resulting shambles.

Update: On Tuesday I learned the reason for last night's cancellation wasn't idleness but sickness so I've concluded it  wouldn't be reasonable to keep the gratuitous abuse of the driver in this post so I've now removed it.
