CrossCountry didn't remove their trains from the system - they're all showing as running today but they're not! Title: Re: For the first time in yonks...

Tom ;D Pleeaase! pay more attention to the real time running sections of the FGW website. I actually worked 10 trains last week and only two arrived at their destination later that it's booked time and only 1 of that 2 later than the 10 minute threshold allowed to avoid it becoming a late running statistic. :o You see things aint all that bad eh! :-\ Title: Re: For the first time in yonks...
