Caledonian Sleeper

[MoominAndChips]

I see the Fort William portion arrived 59 minutes late. That's strange, same as ours did a couple of years back. So we only got 50% delay repay.

Maybe off-topic here, but VR in Finland have done this to me so many times I've lost count. Drive it like you stole it till you get down to 58 or 59 late and then stay that way for the remainder of the journey. Compensation starts at 60 minutes, of course...

I can’t explain why but that sounds a little naughty to me.

I know nothing about train driving and whatever the line restrictions that make the Sleeper slow in the Highlands lz but is the above even possible? Why not just carry on driving at that speed if it means you get to Fort William quicker?
