I tend to work on the train so it doesn't matter so much if I'm a bit late, but if a particular train is leaving you late for work every day, is there not an earlier one that works? I used to take an earlier train for the same reason but since I can work more comfortably on an ICR, getting the later train works better for both me and my employer.

I am a great believer in using public transport, and I use a feeder bus to get to/from the station (Hazelhatch) I could get a feeder bus to the station at 06.40, however getting up at 5am is really not an option. I'm sure I'm not the only person who is put out by IR punctuality - their idea of punctuality (10mins) is not an employers idea of punctuality. Funnily enough the feeder bus is always on time however the trains are not.
