Makes perfect sense to me. LU timetables are just fiction. Someone
should
invest in buying the drivers and signalmen some watches at least.

you mean that they don't have them (watches that is)?

And in any case, how does having a timer stop the delay happening in the
first place.

Because as a couple of hundred people are sitting in a train with a green
light waiting for the relief driver to turn up to take over, perhaps
having
an alarm bell in the mess might remind him that he's paid to drive the
damn
thing.

well having grown up on a route where turns started at the terminus (Morden)
I suppose that I never experienced that problem

But you're right it does happen on the Picc at Acton

But I still don't see that it's down to the individual not knowing the time.
They just do it because they can.
