@TomWright165389@TfL Not particularly on a metro as they’re frequent. However, train doors do close up to 30 seconds behind and people often are late. But they just wait for the next one and don’t moan about it on X…
@TomWright165389@TfL I don’t understand what point you’re trying to make!?
And yes, if you are planning a journey, then of course you need to know if trains are delayed! Are you really being that stupid?
@TomWright165389@TfL Not really. The Bakerloo line is local service in London and if that has delays, you can catch a bus or get a taxi or go a different route.
If you’re going to be clever, do a little research first so you don’t come out looking a bit silly.
@TomWright165389@Hrushworth@SteveWhiteRail 15 seconds? Are you serious? 😂
Here’s an idea, look up the words ‘boarding’ and ‘departure’ so you understand what they mean because departure time certainly doesn’t mean boarding time! 🤦🏻♂️
@TomWright165389@Hrushworth@SteveWhiteRail Er, no they don’t! At most, they can leave up to 15 seconds before the time. But the doors need to be closed and platform interface clear before dispatch can begin.
@TomWright165389@Hrushworth@SteveWhiteRail How is a train departing before the advertised departure time? Now you’re just talking drivel.
They have timed path and in some cases, can face fines or lose out on performance targets for leaving late!
Doors close up to two minutes before to allow a prompt departure. Simple!
@TomWright165389@Hrushworth@SteveWhiteRail It’s clearly advertised in stations that train doors can close up to 2 mins before departure. The railway does not need to molly coddle you!
