Posted by randyo on Fri Dec 12 13:14:57 2014, in response to Re: MTA Bus & NYCT Bus routes ''On Time Performance'' data for September & October 2014, posted by New Flyer #857 on Thu Dec 11 15:25:06 2014. The one minute lag dated back to the old NYCRR days. The posted departure time for the passengers was one minute before the actual departure time of the train to allow “walk time” from the gate at the platform entrance to the train. As for running ahead of time, NY bound Amtrak trains coming from points south of DC often run ahead of time since once in N/E Corridor territory, they only discharge passengers but don’t pick up. Since there are no boarding passengers to wait for, trains can run contingent only on train traffic ahead. When I returned from New Orleans on the Crescent, the train arrived at Penn Sta 20 min ahead of schedule. |
