A railway company covering the south of England has been beset by problems: staff sickness, industrial action (to name two).
Delays are so bad that some commuters have apparently lost their jobs because they regularly fail to get to work on time.
To solve the crisis, I read in one newspaper last week, the company decided to cancel 341 trains (per day). (Apparently to make the trains that do run more reliable.)
The heading for the report in the paper said: Better never than late!
(England, 2016)
* For those who might need a bit of help: the usual saying is, “Better late than never.”
