Lengthen Journey Times To Improve Train Reliability

Network Rail's new idea to make the trains run on time is to lengthen the journey time.

The idea is to add up to five minutes to every journey when the summer timetable is published. They claim this could improve punctuality from 80% to 83%.

What a great idea, make something appear better without doing any actual work. Maybe the Government could do the same for crime rates by making more things legal?
