How about neither, it's just somebody doing their job. It's not as simple as a the guard just holding the train, the train has a path and a timing it has to stick to on the route, if it doesn't then it has the knock on effect of causing delays to to other services. And this was a delay on a TPE service so why not direct your frustration at TPE or perhaps Network Rail if it was a delay caused by an infrastructure fault. "Perhaps they are not aware that they only run trains once an hour to Manchester" Err I'm pretty sure Northern is well aware of the services it operates. Incompetnce or victimisation?
