There are not facilities for passengers to disembark a train at such a
signal. There are, however, facilities expressly for the purpose of
letting passengers off a bus in the High Street.

And those passengers who don't want to get off in the high street are
delayed because of you. How is that fair?

Everyone's already been delayed by the bustitution. Another fifteen
seconds isn't going to make any difference.

And if they let you off they'll have to let everyone off at whatever
random place is convenient and then the whole service breaks down.

At the station I'm thinking of, about half the people getting off will
want the same High Street.

I will admit that some bus drivers are jobsworths and will absolutely refuse to
open the doors even if stuck in traffic 10 metres from a stop which is just
being bloody minded for the sake of it, but if you're going to use a bus
you have to accept its not your personal transport.

I was attempting to use a train!
