So as a little bit of fun I'm trying to see if anyone else has had this happen to them (possibly a Southern commuter?)
I am on an amazing streak of trains that have yet to be on time - every single SWR train I have travelled on since the start of the franchise (including the blocade) has failed to arrive at my destination on time [based on the published timetable and the station clock].
Out of curiosity I am wondering to myself how long this can last (I never kept track of this during SWT days, and certainly have had whole weeks where this has happened in the past). The only (to me) mildly amusing aspect of this current run is that it does to that for me the new franchise has failed to deliver me to my destination on time (which ties in nicely with the fact that all the GWR services I've taken recently in the past year have also failed to arrive on time)!
Please note that for these purposes, anything later than the published time counts as late - its not a delay replay question, its also not a complaint per se, though I may send an email to the new MD when the streak ends (probably tonight on the way home, now I've posted about it)
