marvellous.. Either the system hasn't been tested very well or they've decided they like to show potentially incorrect information  Angry

As Industry Insider says its WTT▸ (Working Time-Table) (working time table [essentially the staff timetable which is followed]) and PTT▸ (Public Time-Table) (public timetable [the one that appears in timetable literature]) and they are different on this train.

As NRE▸ (National Rail Enquiries) runs off TRUST▸ (Train Running System TOPS) (a railway computer system) it uses the WTT times for its expected times, however the displayed times (not expected) are the Public ones.

Very odd indeed!

It happens quite a lot.  Not sure if it's something to do with silly discrepancies between 'working' times and 'public' times.  Chiltern's trains seem particularly bad for it.

Chiltern have had a very large notice on their website homepage for the past couple of days blaming database errors (altered today to "Network Rail system problem") and telling people to check their alterations page for correct times.
