I asked a obvious question "Why does LU take 1/4 of a year to sort out the
timetable"


Because the processes for service change take that long. Consider:

- Number of staff required to drive the trains may increase

- Rosters have to be agreed with the Trade Union

- It may be necessary to carry out an economic evaluation.


Major changes to National Rail timetables can take up to 18 months.
