i am interested in the day if TOCs have any duties for minimising significant delay.
I was caught up in the track circuit failure at Peterborough this morning. As a result I missed the 0916 Peterborough to Newark service which passed my service outside the station.
I arrived at Lincoln at 1053 after going via Spalding but bad really.
However - asking at Lincoln about getting to Market Rasen I was told I needed to wait until the 1236.
So a missed connection at Peterborough by about 5 minutes turns into a 2 hour+ delay.
Is this really what the policy is? No wonder rural Lincolnshire routes do so badly when a single missed connection means a 2 hour+ delay.
