Rail-replacement bus use opposed

Train companies are being asked to sign a pledge to use buses only as a last resort when services are disrupted by engineering work.

The drawback about using buses is that they take indirect routes between stations and the journey times are longer (and get progressively extended as the journey progresses). A half hour train journey soon becomes an hour and an hour's journey more than two hours.
