Default How do FCC get away with their emergency GN timetable?

FCC were running their emergency GN timetable on Monday and I found out
today that hey are running it today and tomorrow (Christmas Eve). So the
late trains promised on Christmas Eve have presumably gone west.

But the worst thing is the outrageous padding in the timings, presumably
to avoid any delay claims even when they lost time.

In the other direction they are allowing 20 minutes from Finsbury Park
(dep. xx:24) to King's Cross (arr. xx:44). The 09:08 this morning arrived
at 10:28, surprise, surprise.


The staff member, carrying a red flag before the train, can't go faster.
