CrossCountry has announced a temporary reduced timetable from August 10 to November 9 for multiple routes including Bristol, Gloucester, Nottingham, and Manchester. The changes aim to address performance and reliability issues due to a training backlog caused by ongoing industrial action, minimizing same-day cancellations and enhancing future service reliability. A successful trial during Easter showed a significant reduction in cancellations. Passengers with pre-booked tickets can use alternative services or request refunds.
