Leaves on the line | 2 September 2008

From the Southeastern Railways timetable:

Retimed trains during the leaf fall period From Monday 13 October 2008 until the end of the timetable, some morning services in this timetable (Mondays to Fridays only) will be subject to retiming. This is part of our plans to overcome delays that occur during the autumn leaf fall period. Where trains run earlier for part of their journey two schedules will be shown – the schedule for when the train is running earlier than normal will be shown in red in the timetable pages. Where a train arrives at its destination station later than normal a note will be added to indicate the normal arrival time.

You really couldn’t make this stuff up.
