has been amended twice today. First the 24-hour overrun was extended
to 36 hours (12 noon Tuesday) and then to 48 hours (start of service
Wednesday).

Pardon me for being thick, but Network Rail have been on the wireless today justifying the work as necessary to remove a bottleneck on the route. But didn't the taxpayer fork out $megaBillions only a couple of years ago to completely upgrade the WCML? Or was there some exclusion clause that said "The WCML - apart from a bit we forgot near Rugby"??
