Travelling on a grand central service this evening 17:06 from york and were running early only train in front was 1A41 so had a pretty clear run. Slowed down approaching hitchin and stopped at signal I assume this was because it was around 3 1/2 early. Looking on Traksy 2R55 was on the slows and behind was 1T51 which switched to the fast line after hitchin. Eventually set off 1L only to be put behind 2R55 at woolmer green now running 3L.
I see there is a lot of time added into the schedule relating to why it was early.
Is this a normal procedure to do holding an early train to make it on time even though it wouldn’t of clashed with another service? Would be interesting to know why this is the case.
Cheers
