Default The slow train into Victoria

In the past few months I've noticed that many of the trains coming in
to platforms 9 to 12 at Victoria *crawl* all the way down the platform
before stopping. Anyone know why this is? It can't be some silly
safety issue because they accelerate out of the platforms normally,
and the same trains stopping at other stations - with crowded
platforms - come in quite fast and decelerate just like they always
have.
