Thats one of the problems of passengers/customers/punters (whatever! ;D ) not having a timetable. It must be said that just because the signal is green doesn't mean it is time to go. A green signal says that the section ahead is clear and that it is safe to proceed at line speed, it is not an indication that it is the timetabled departure time. Just to clarify here, I am not suggesting we start issuing timetables!  |

Aye, and thats my answer if a driver goes early with the excuse that there was a green stick. Just to clarify here, I am not suggesting we start issuing timetables! You probably know, but they do issue timetables up this part of the world, but AFAIK they do not include the stand times in! |

Stand time is irrelevant to the punter as long as departure time is listed correctly. It is if you are already on the train because if they are aware of the stand time, they wont just assume that there is a delay on changeover of the person at the sharp end |

To those arriving on the service and alighting, it could be seen as an early "arrival" as most assume the time shown is both an arrival and/or departure time. To those remaining on the train, there may be a perceived delay, but if they were to check their timetable, the answer would be only too clear - if of course they were intelligent enough to calculate this - which I am sure most of our customers are ;D |

So it goes back to what i said, if they kn ew there was a stand time of x minutes, they wouldnt assume there was a delay, would they? |
