The automation allowed running more trains than ever before using less personnel than ever before.

You want the train company to keep 2x-3x personnel on hand just for days like this? Not to mentioned transition time.

So, run fewer trains. Fewer is better than none.

I am not familiar with European train, but it seems that they did?

That isn't useful for 99% of passengers. He obviously meant run a reasonable percentage of trains, like 25-50%.

Maybe we have different definition of fewer trains, because I wouldn't expect more than 10% at most, realistically 2-3%. And those trains are probably already 2-3%.
