GB Railfreight under fire after 61/2-hour 'sleeper' delay

摘要

GB RAILFREIGHT, the provider of locomotives for the Caledonian Sleeper operation, has been heavily criticised after a clutch of locomotive failures over two days of operation in early February, which have led to heavy delays, the worst being 61/2 hours. Ryan Flaherty, the outgoing managing director of the Serco-managed 'sleeper' service, described the disruption as "unacceptable". Passengers praised sleeper staff for doing what they could in difficult circumstances.
