[1] https://www.networkrail.co.uk/industry-and-commercial/information-for-operators/payments-for-disruption-on-the-railway/ https://www.networkrail.co.uk/industry-and-commercial/inform... - Thank you for the link. It introduces some good, empirical data to the conversation, and I am grateful for your contribution. But are they fined the way that latenesses are? > Each cancellation is worth a certain amount of ‘delay minutes’, which reflects the disruption that passengers face as a result of having to wait for the next train. That sounds like a formula for exactly what I was talking about (I never said that the cancellation wasn't fined). > An object lesson on HN comments? Be nice. That extra line was completely unnecessary, and is, indeed, an object lesson on HN comments.
