Title: Ghost train
Post by: Worcester_Passenger on January 11, 2012, 06:29:23
There's an odd ghost train on the electronic departures board for Exeter St David this morning - an 06:46 departure to Penzance, reported running 17 late.

When you click on 'details', it shows up as the 20:20 from Aberdeen, due into Pz at 09:42.

Looking at the journey planner, I can see an 08:20 from Aberdeen, due in at 21:42.

Has this mistake been around for ages and I've only just noticed it?

There was once a similar problem at Victoria, where the delayed 0741 from London Bridge showed as expected 2013.  When I contacted Southern asking if it was really 12 hours and 32 minutes late, they agreed it was an issue with someone entering the departure time as am when it should be pm.  (I honestly thought these boards were automated!)

This has been regular for quite a while apparently, a 2020 from scotland to Penzance.
