Saw someone off at Euston this evening onto the Inverness sleeper, apparently they announced a couple of days ago that the arrival time was revised to 10am due to weather conditions.
Have just looked on RTT, I see this is done simply by revising the arrival time (but no points en route). So this is not actually a re-pathing or re-timetabling according to lower speed restrictions, more like a cover-all margin.
I actually noticed this had been done to a Scotrail train I travelled on just before Christmas - on a bad weather day - just the final arrival time in Inverness altered. In actual fact we arrived on time (as per the "normal" timetable).
If it's true that this is a strategy for avoiding delay repay claims, it wouldn't work for anyone claiming a delay at intermediate stops would it?
