I'd have hoped for more than 90% seeing the time trains I've been wait at stations. 5 minutes at Epsom in the evening is rather excessive. In the morning there's at least a minutes wait at Motspur Park and that can't be to give time for everyone to board. Don't think the number reaches double figures! A major shortfall of the punctuality system seems to be that it only records arrival at the final destination - which seems odd, as given the computerised departure board system, I'd imagine departures from almost all intermediate points are already measured. -- Dave Arquati Imperial College, SW7 www.alwaystouchout.com - Transport projects in London |
