Methodology
A typical parliamentary train will serve its stations or line as little as once per week, and only in one direction. Parliamentary services will typically be very early in the morning, very late at night or in the middle of the day at the weekend.
These trains run because rail transport is heavily regulated in the United Kingdom and it is sometimes considerably cheaper for a train operating company to run a parliamentary train than it would be to go through the legal process of applying for a station or line to be permanently closed.

Famous quotes containing the word methodology:
“One might get the impression that I recommend a new methodology which replaces induction by counterinduction and uses a multiplicity of theories, metaphysical views, fairy tales, instead of the customary pair theory/observation. This impression would certainly be mistaken. My intention is not to replace one set of general rules by another such set: my intention is rather to convince the reader that all methodologies, even the most obvious ones, have their limits.”
—Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)
