Default What if? - Timetables

This thread isn't meant to be serious.

What if the timetables are all wrong and trains actually show up on time according to the working timetable?*

Reggie Perrins train was always 7 mins late. He even wrote to BR suggesting that they simply change all the times so that the train arrives on time.

A suggestion IE have taken up on in recent years.

Perhaps they should follow the Dublin Bus approach. "Trains approximately every X minutes" sort of thing.

Hmmm, maybe we have confused the wording. Maybe the timetable is employed, but doesn't work - soon familiar?
