Just seen this on BBC News
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-12358860
I understand the need of punctuality (of course I do), but the timetable is set out for catch up times in numerous places, with wheelchairs/bikes/High volume of passengers alot of services will "lose" a few mins between same stations and then gain between others.
Personally I think the railway does very well most of the time, different TOC's Have different problems, my TOC's problem is mainly ancient stock and being held at Stations/Junctions/Signals for express Stock to pass.
Sometimes I do feel that no matter what the railway does, it will never be good enough for some.
