I stood and observed the two Network Rail workers on the platform end at Colchester for some time. I can honestly say that, apart from doing something on their mobile 'phones, they did precious little work! This is not an exception, I really do think that the efficiency with which the fabled 'orange army' work is very poor at times. A return to the favourite 1970s time and motion study would reveal some interesting facts; rant over! 321343 waits to leave with the 1N33 10.05 Clacton to Liverpool Street whilst DVT 82133 has come to a halt leading the 1P16 09.30 Liverpool Street to Norwich.
