Live departure problem?

[dcmbarton]

I'm looking at the live departure board for Lichfield TV and it gives a 1213 VT service from Crewe to Euston, arriving into Euston at 1502 - this surely must be an error? It runs fast from LTV to Euston too!!!

1Z10 runs via Leamington Spa, Banbury, High Wycombe, West Ealing, Acton Main Line, Willesden Junction and London Euston, arr 1502.

Crumbs, there must be engineering work on the WCML then? No wonder it takes nearly 3 hours!

My personal favourite- 1335 Cre to Wvh arrives Wvh at 1549! Via Tammyworth, Nuneaton, Rugby, Cov & Brum.
What annoys me greatly though, is VT running short distance services, when they could join them up, and run a direct one. E.g. Yesterday- Glc to Car via Kilmarnock/ Car to Pre/ Pre to Wvh? Today- 1017 Pre to Wgn - why not divert via Manchester to Cre, Rug, Bhm or to Euston etc? I know some of my examples would require a Super Voyager in place of a Pendo, but pax would probably appreciate the direct services? Oh and i forgot- Why the heck are Vt running coaches Pre to Car, when the S&C is open? Why not Eus-Cov-Nun-Tam-Cre-Man-Pre-Car-Glc?

Looked on the LDB mobile site and there were a few errors. I think I saw a few trains that were something like scheduled to arrive at 19:33, expected 16:33 (and the time was 19:15). None of the same errors were on the actual departure boards at stations though and I haven't seen the error again *shrug*
