The extra time from the timers in to South Ferry and possibly waiting for a crossover / lineup just outside the terminal, combined with the small amount of extra walking, could add up to 2 minutes.Therefore, it is not unreasonable to suggest that, at certain times, people's "regular train" may no longer make a boat that they once could. For those people, it could be seen as a downgrade. The 15 seconds waiting for the gapfillers to extend seems to have been replaced by 15 seconds waiting for the conductor to change positions so they don't need to cycle the doors after discharging customers. Though, removing the pause at Rector to let people run up, saves one to two minutes. That pause used to be at Chambers while waiting for an express though (or sometimes not at all), when they used to let you cross between cabs to get to the front half if you left Rector in the back. Making it illegal to cross between cars killed that. |
