I was reading elsewhere that on stormy days like today train companies may still incur financial penalties if their trains are late, but if they cancel them then there are no penalties.
So announcing that there will be no trains until 09:00 is far better proposition for them than announcing that they will just run a 50% service from 07:00 knowing that in all likelihood a fair number may arrive late ....... but at least the passengers will get there.
Can this be true ? Surely it is illogical to penalise companies for acts of nature.
