Nice try - shame about the detail
There are some nice features about the National Rail web-site: I mainly use the journey planner, especially to check train times at the weekend.
You can, as with most journey planners, enter an origin and a destination as well as a preferred date and time of travel. You can specify whether the time is time of arrival at destination or time of departure from origin. Then up it comes with a selection of trains to meet your criteria.
When you get these, you can request a .pdf version of the timetable - what it calls the Pocket Timetable - with the times for your journey.
However, there's a bug in this bit!
If you specify that you want to depart at a specific time, fine, the printed timetable will take cognisance of this and times will start start at more or less the departure time you specify.
If however you specify that you want to arrive at a specific time, the timetable will assume that you actually want to depart at that time - so you'll arrive late!
Nice try!
