Title: Generally Good Service on the GWR network Post by: grahame on December 25, 2017, 09:48:45 From the front page of http://www.gwr.com
Quote There is generally a good service on the GWR network. Please check your journey for specific issues. On the grounds that there are no unscheduled cancellations or short workings, no trains operating with less carriages than usual, no trains operating without reservations or catering facilities on routes where they are provided as a norm, I can understand why the automated systems might consider today to be a "generally good service" ;D P.S. For anyone coming to this thread in our archive, it's 25th December today!

I keep thinking my data feed must be broken ;D I have been around sufficiently long to have various checks and balances in place; when our server plays up, I tend to have multiple flags letting me know, and except on rare occasions I carry tools to fix from just about anywhere. I have intentionally left the "Fastnet Rock" feature on the service map to give me an immediate shout if a station needs adding to my database of possible termini; the "zero option" is treated as a special case in the graphic generator as you'll note it uses the word "No" rather than "0" ... this sort of stuff is easy for me, but in the midst of a massive industry system such as we see on the various feeds, all too easy to overlook.
