it's as dry as a Ginsters pasty I like that! As I remember being lectured by a Cornish member of the Coffee Shop forum, long ago in the past (although I can't find it, to quote it here), "Ginsters is not a proper pasty: wrong pastry, wrong filling".  |

Railway communications slide towards being a complete word salad, don't they. The usual number of trains needed for the Looe branch is precisely one. In that context 'More than the usual number of trains needing repair' sounds particularly barking, but it's a phrase that needs to be dropped completely as it projects incompetence.

Presumably it translates to the allocated train has broken.

Or it could mean that the Looe train has been borrowed to operate another service with better financial return. Perfectly logical from the point-of-view of the railway, but it dooms some lines to having a permanently crap reliability, deterring passengers... and hence poor financial return... |
