The Cleethorpes to Manchester Airport railway line re-opened last month after a six month closure between Scunthorpe and Doncaster following a landslip. Since the line re-opened there have been many cancellations, not because of the landslip but because of lack of staff.
These are some cancellations today listed at http://www.journeycheck.com/tpexpress
