Picked up a copy of the new CrossCountry timetable booklet for Nottingham & Derby to Bristol & Cardiff today.

It was quite a surprise to see all Nottingham - Cardiff trains, Mon - Fri, Sat and Sun. arriving Cardiff six minutes after leaving Birmingham New St!

It took me a minute or two to realise that University had been omitted and Cardiff Central inserted instead. The times continue correctly below, to Cheltenham, Gloucester etc. and the proper arrival time in Cardiff is shown at the bottom of each column.

There is a small sticker on the front of the booklet pointing out the error but it's not immediately obvious. No proof reading done on this one!

Economics obviously takes precedence over pride in a well produced accurate publication
