Festive train punctuality hit by floods

THE two main operators of London-to-Scotland trains saw more than one-fifth of services delayed over the festive period as wet weather and failing infrastructure dragged down performance.

Punctuality figures published by Network Rail show Virgin Trains, which runs Glasgow-to-London routes, ranked bottom of the UK's 19 franchised operators in the four weeks to January 5, when nearly one- quarter of services arrived more than 10 minutes past their scheduled time.
