However they also predicted demand so the last run on a Friday/Saturday night would be operated by a full size bus. Where I live now the local stopping train service (Shrewsbury - Crewe Shuttle) is usually operated by a single carriage 'dogbox'. Again when demand is expected to be higher then they run a bigger train. Times such as extra shoppers before Christmas or Shrewsbury Town playing a Northern side. I am not sure what value capacity has to an end user, travel companies are in the logistics business and will adjust supply (capacity) to meet expected demand. Phil (trigpoint)
