Well the national rail arrivals board finally showed it as arriving at 9.42.. It did disappear off of the board a couple of times before then though. Think it was a bit of a difficult morning all round.. I wasn't on the train today fortunately.

So 30 minute delay  I think..

No idea what happened to this train today. I had an important meeting at 10.30 which I just couldn't risk missing, so I drove.. I bet the train was on time because I wasn't on it!! Cheesy

You will find that a more advanced system is used to monitor delays.

Live Departure Boards are nowhere near perfect.

A problem with the Live Departure Boards is they rely on monitoring points to be hit, and in some cases it will just give up and the train will drop off, even if it is late.

Yep. 13 minutes today. All of which were spent sitting just outside Paddington... Nice! Thumbs up to the train driver who kept us well informed though  Smiley.   Does anyone know what time yesterdays train (that I missed) got in?
