trains aren't just being slack

The trains have been running achingly slow this whole week. And with only Friday left to go, I don't see it improving before the week is out. A ~40 minute train ride has now become ~1 hour. At least my cynicism of the trains has proved unjustified:

"Routine maintenance on Monday night found hundreds of flaws on five sections of the track. So severe is the deterioration that Connex has imposed a speed restriction of 30km/h along the damaged areas where trains usually travel at speeds up to 95km/h."
