Without any seeming irony Northern rail have announced that to improve service reliability they are reducing the number of trains running at Christmas....

There are some plans to actually improve services (i.e. run the full current timetable again) sometime in the future, but for now, to make sure trains run on time there must be less of them.

Yup, taking the service back into state hands is really working for passengers.
