Why do train cancellations happen?

Train cancellations can occur for many reasons, including infrastructure failures, staff shortages, or adverse weather. This new policy aims to reduce the impact on passengers when these disruptions happen. It's part of a broader effort to improve reliability and passenger experience across the UK's rail network, making journeys less stressful.
