I take it English is not your first language. You asked why the
introduction of a new timetable took so long. Romic replied "I don't
think it's that simple...",


Err, you misquote, there was no "..." there was no reason given by
Romic.


The "..." represents the rest of the sentence that was not pertinent to my
point. That's how you quote part of a sentence, in case you didn't know.


At the risk of being *really* pedantic, in that case, you should have
put the '...' either outside his inverted commas or else in square
brackets to show it as an edit. The way you posted implied that what he
write contained the three dots.

Sorry, couldn't resist :-)
