I’ve been lucky enough to be enjoying extensive travel on the FR this week. Had fantastic trips but over my 5 journeys I couldn’t help but notice that every single one has been late!
This is posted as a curiosity and not as a complaint, I was in no hurry, but I was curious as to why. One trip was 40 mins late (a signal or locomotive issue depending on who you talk to), two 15 mins late and two 10 mins late.
I was on trains that were running end to end but I would have thought that a much less intensive timetable post covid (sadly) would mean it is easier to run to time? Perhaps the whole line trains conflict with the shuttles the Porthmadog end?
