(FIRST GROUP'S) GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY ON TOP FORM

Here's a fabulous evening's service out of London for my family, waiting to join me here in Bath:

The 39 minutes' delay to the 2130 is due to "A broken down train earlier today"; the cancellation of the 2227 is due to "A borken down train"; the delay to the 2321 is due to "A broken down train earlier today".

These operators don't know how to run a railway - but they sure know how to make profits from not maintaining trains, and therefore not running them.

... and they make an announcement on the 2321 arrival saying "We have to let crew have a 20 minute break" ... oh that's all right, then ... not enough well-maintained trains; not enough crew ... 

... do they expect sympathy?
