Default Chiltern Services Between Amersham & Harrow

Methinks it was a _little_ late...


19:27 at Harrow by my phone and watch, so minimal. Harrow box allowed it a
clear run into the platform, so obviously knew that it was imminently
arriving. I suspect that the slightly late-running Amersham (which I was on
from Liverpool Street), which was checked all the way to GPS, was given
priority. The CRCL service was only 3 late at Aylesbury (booked 20:12,
actual 20:15), after the additional delay caused by the crawl along the Met,
so must have been as near as damn-it to booked time at Harrow. IMO another
example of petty-minded, rather than practical, regulation.
