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.

Like I said, and unlike NXEA's West Anglia route, they gave up any
pretence to a reasonable train service. To add to the confusion, NRE's
online timetables collapsed more completely.
