| Comment | Scotstounhill. I'm just going to Partick, so this was three consecutive trains in the space of an hour (two trains with 10 minutes apart between them, then another 20 minutes later). ​ Previously I was going to work on the same train every morning. That one was fine. If I started late on a certain day then that one would be consistently too early. Then the five minute breaks at Jordanhill can be the difference between getting in to work early or just in time too, as when the lines merge at Hyndland, as your train's been delayed it winds up running behind another train and being a few minutes late at every following station. ​ Like I said, Jordanhill's where they change drivers, so clearly the driver's sitting at Garscadden getting his stuff together. Barely anyone gets on at that station, allowing them to exploit the time allowed to wait at there (and I've mentioned how pointless that station is. Its literally 2 minutes walk along the line from Scotstounhill - but like 15 minutes using the main road). They power on through Scotstounhill to make up for that time. Then sit about Jordanhill doing their shift change and talking to the other driver. Passengers have gotten out at Jordanhill before and yelled at the drivers to stop talking and move the train... ​ It isn't a fault with scheduling. Its the drivers arsing about. ​ ​ |
