Notice given of new timetables being implemented on June 6 this morning on our service,
along with the quiet car announcement.

No mention made of the bus strike due tomorrow.

Last time announcements were made on the day before the industrial action. This was appreciated.
They still have this afternoon I guess.

Regards,

PS: It's rather disappointing to see this still hasn't been resolved considering it been stewing for just over 12 months now :conf
