Title: Bath Spa CIS (A Rant) Post by: thetrout on December 03, 2012, 23:17:46 the 22:47 is delayed (again) - only one line running between Exeter St Davids and Taunton.
Anyway, does the CIS need to be quite so enthusiastic about telling us this nearly every 90 seconds or so. It's incredibly irritating because it can't seem to decide if it's 48, 39, 47, 44, 46 or 51 minutes late.

Title: Re: Bath Spa CIS (A Rant) Post by: Southern Stag on December 04, 2012, 00:08:02 Well it will say delayed, but that has a different meaning. Delayed generally means the train isn't moving at all. With an estimated time the train is usually on its way.
