Out of the extra 5 mins layover:
- Extra 2 mins in Consett giving 7 mins layover instead of 5 mins
- Extra 3 mins in Newcastle giving 10 mins layover rather than 7 mins.
Obviously that could be jigged around as needed.
Don't forget, if 1x cycle with the same duty runs late, the next cycle will also run late. A frequency reduction should sort that.
Sounds like something that was omitted from the final draft of an Alanis Morriset song. Don't you think? Isn't it ironic... Like rain on your wedding day or someone offering you a lift when you're already late.
