And it is even more unacceptable for NX not to try to run trains round the
diversionary route. They're a big, franchised operator and have the
resources to do so.

Ironically, it was the "trainspotters" at GC (your words, not mine) and Hull
Trains who manged to run round the block - if they managed to get crews
trained etc etc, why can't NX?
