Letter: Letters: Clock on a trip

Published 24 July 1993

From J. R. NICHOLS

The Godalming effect is felt further up the line, at Guildford and at
Waterloo. At Guildford, the clock on the front of the new station building
took a year or so to settle down and show the right time. It is still
slightly out, but not alarmingly so. At Waterloo, the clock in the new
International Terminal, opened with such fanfare recently, was running 20
minutes later after the first few days’ operation, and was then stopped by
British Rail, presumably to prevent further embarrassment.
