I've been busy OK

by Fentyke @ 20/05/2008 - 17:01:05

I've got to say sorry for the lack of posts lately. Work and family have taken over of late so i've had no time to dedicate to the blog. Hopefuly things should be getting back to normal soon so I should be posting a bit more regularly.

One thing I will say concerns the 07.20 which has nnow become the 07.17. Whilst I knew NXEC were issuing a new timetable, neither GNER nor NXEC had ever changed the times of the morning commuter services so i wasn;t expecting to have to rush when I arrived at the station yesterday morning. But rush I did, straight over to platform 3.

This change hasn;t gone down well with the regulars either. Like me they're not too keen on the train arriving 3 mins earlier (and so far it has) they don't like having to walk over to platform 3 where there is no shelter from the elements and they don;t like the fact that it's scheduled to arrive at 08.11 which is exactly the same time as it did when it was the 07.20. Personally I could give a monkeys. All I'm saying is that many passengers haven't greeted this change with open arms.

"neither GNER nor NXEC had ever changed the times of the morning commuter services"
Well, except the 0615->0610. But they ACTUALLY ASKED us about....

Oh wait. That was GNER.

Most folks I spoke to were less than chuffed at the 0717 change, yes :)

Firstly welcome back, got to say it was going off the boil a bit and getting bloody boring.

Second GNER have changed morning commuter services but these started at London we used to have a 05.55 which moved to 06.00 and 07.40 which moved to 07.35, seems a bit bloody strange moving it 3 minutes earlier and still getting in the same time no doubt they will ahve some bollocks excure for this

I should imagine that the extra few mins allows them to hit whatever stat they need to so they don't need to "repay" us for our "delay". Platform 3 for the "fast" train and 2 for the FCC. Not right at all....

Wow a whole 3 minutes later... it's the end of the world clearly.

Seriously, there are worse things that happen on Britain's railways today... give it a rest!
