From the December timetable change the vast majority of Virgin Trains arrivals at London Euston are timed to arrive 1 minute later than at present. Is this simply a crafty, underhanded way of increasing PPM, or is there a better reason for it?
With regards to the 'express' services, the 07:00 Manchester to Euston remains at 2h, but the 07:00 Liverpool to Euston has increased from 2h 03m to 2h 04m (and IIRC this service used to be scheduled to take 2h), the 07:30 Birmingham to Euston has increased from 1h 12m to 1h 13m, and the 07:51 Birmingham International to Euston has increased from 1h 08m to 1h 09m.
