This must be the fourth or fifth time that people planning on visiting
me by train this summer (or me visiting them) has been sabotaged by the
unions.

Not the kind of trip you can "do next week instead" or "work from home
instead", but linked to specific events in the real world, often booked
months ago.

Today it's the XC service from Birmingham to Stansted, which has been
truncated to Birmingham-Leicester and then only 8am to 4pm.

Friday almost as bad - same hours, but only getting as far as
Peterborough.

There's a T3 Possession in Dawlish so at least that's one other day when
the line wont be closed.

Bad luck. Use a car.

I was surprised to see an Avanti train on the track next to the motorway I
was in today. I thought they were now vanishingly available on non strike
days let alone today.

The would-be traveler doesn't have a car. Although if this goes on much
longer, I think they may buy one, and never use a train again. That'll
cheer the RMT up.

I'm sure you can find it on RTT. Perhaps it was one of these:

<https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/detailed/gb-nr:OXN/2022-08-18/1
030-1630?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt&toc=VT>

Were the Avanti drivers actually on strike, or just the RMT signallers?
