Subject: Average age of Rolling Stock
by TOC report - correction
All,
Due to an error in the report design, the data for the ‘All’ category in the Average age of Rolling Stock by TOC had been displayed against the wrong quarters between 2009-10 Q2 and 2012-13 Q2. This has now been rectified and the report currently displays data for the appropriate financial quarters.
The most likely cause for this error was due to changes in the way the data was loaded. Now that the report has been amended this error should not occur again. In addition, we will amend our existing validation procedures to ensure further checks against raw data are undertaken.
Apologies for any inconvenience that this may have caused you.
What is it with spreadsheets and Government departments?
UPDATE: This from The Sleeper...

UPDATE: This, it would appear, from Morris the Man...
Non solum fumo speculisque, sed etiam tintinnabulis fistulisque fit.
