Hi, So I was just checking my train status for the way home when I ran into this timetable which was entertaining to read, here is the timetable in question: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/H36456/2016/11/15/advanced/ http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.realtimetrains.co.uk%2Ftrain%2FH36456%2F2016%2F11%2F15%2Fadvanced&h=PAQELq6DT Curious, how many are actual errors and how does the timing system get so messed on 1 train, I assume its cause there are several timing points that are the same which has confused the timing system, or would be a network rail issues/ faulty reading equipment?

The later pass is getting recorded as an earlier pass (and then both end up showing the earlier pass delay time I think). OpenTrainTimes I think is using a different method but seems to be showing a more sane result. Log in to reply The following user said thank you: 08wrighta |
