Actually, TA rules require that the C/R keep the doors fully open for a minimum of 10 seconds or longer if necessary which is why running times during rush hours are longer than non rush periods. In RT Schedules, the rule of thumb was to allow 30 seconds for each station stop. We used to figure that from the time the door opening buttons were energized until the door were completely closed was 15 seconds. The rest of the time was added due to the train having to decelerate to a stop and accelerate when leaving each station. I never really heard how a T/O called RCC for a trouble so I can’t say how they announce their departure times but it’s possible they don’t use all 4 digits when stating the time except for PM times or other times that absolutely require it. I’m sure there are people out there who deal with that all the time and could answer that question better than I can. |
