A train leaves a station at 1PM on a 300 mile journey. It stops at a station every 100 miles to take on more passengers. The onboarding process takes 20 minutes. After each additional load of passengers, the train travels 10 % slower than its previous speed. At what time does the train reach its destination?

I don't suppose there is any additional information . . . like the original speed of the train?
