QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Oct 11 2016, 01:59 PM) Looking at the GWR app, which I find the the most useful of all the apps (with the exception of the TFL app for busses when up smoke), it seems the departure time and the arrival time are the same, which is bound to cause a late arrival or late departing issue. You're right! Many of the times on the timetable show the same time for arrival and departure. Generally the turbo trains can get the station stop done fairly quickly with them being driver only operated (DOO) and with power doors. The HST's take a minimum of 2 minutes at stations with slam doors and dispatch. QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Oct 11 2016, 01:59 PM) Is there an official passenger transition target or time allowance for passenger boarding or alighting? There is an official definition of "late" when deciding delay compensation between companies. (Usually a TOC and Network Rail). As far as the customer information goes a train is late if it is beyond it's timetabled departure time. If you look at the customer information screens at say Newbury trains are shown as late if only delayed by 1 minute.
