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

In the other direction they are allowing 20 minutes from Finsbury Park
(dep. xx:24) to King's Cross (arr. xx:44).

It sounds to me like they've put 15 minutes of problem allowance into
the schedule. As per normal practice, all this is inserted just before
the final destination. Since I'm unclear what the "emergency" is, I
can't say whether 15 minutes is a reasonable allowance.
