This from Julian and Sandy...
Compare this from our Norm in the Daily Mail...
Mr Baker, who is fed up with the train companies’ sleight of hand told the Daily Mail afterwards: ‘It is totally dishonest to say trains are punctual when for short distance and journeys they can arrive within 4 minutes and 59 seconds and for long-distance they can be within 9 minutes and 59 seconds and still count as being officially on time. Taxpayers and passengers deserve better than this.
‘That is why we are putting pressure on the rail industry to publish proper real-time performance figures.'
Taking his cue from two popular BBC Radio4 comedy series, Mr Baker said: ‘Punctuality should be measured by ‘Just a Minute’, not ‘I’m sorry I haven’t a Clue.’
With this from his own department:
"PPM is and will remain the government’s and industry’s key measure of rail punctuality and reliability"
So who is the dishonest one, eh Norm?
