Ha! Not like FCC to do that... They're usually about 10 minutes late from St Pancras!
Very much a retired regular poster..... If you can say that :mrgreen:

I'm glad i'm not the only one to have picked up on Brian Cox's unnecessarily exotic, varied, and geographically dispersed choice of locations to illustrate metaphors that could have just as easily been done in any branch of Burger King.

Haha brilliant.
Saying that though, one of our services at Stevenage turned up two minutes early once. How it still ended up late to Welwyn I will never understand.

Are you sure the clocks were right? Stevenage is a bit backward, I'm not convinced they're on the same timezone as the rest of us.

In similar shocking news, I filmed GSR's The Overland (The Overdue) today, and it was only 4
minutes late, not the normal 2 hours.

Wouldn't surprise me if they weren't. But it's all true.

Knebworth on the other hand... Tends to warn you of a fast approaching train after it's already passed and a mile up the line!

Nah, they are just so efficient that they're telling you about the next non-stop trains :wink: .
