Plus they must have very good DA clerk's, trying to find that delay at the beginning of the journey to shift all the minutes back to NR. "Well because you regulated that train 6 mins at XYZ junction, it made our train miss its slot and thus if it was on time, it wouldn't have had to stop and so wouldn't have broken down, blah blah" This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
