Because as a couple of hundred people are sitting in a train with a green
light waiting for the relief driver to turn up to take over, perhaps
having
an alarm bell in the mess might remind him that he's paid to drive the
damn
thing.


well having grown up on a route where turns started at the terminus (Morden)
I suppose that I never experienced that problem


Congratulations, you had utl post 80000 on the aioe server

But you're right it does happen on the Picc at Acton


And arnos grove and no doubt rayners lane too.

But I still don't see that it's down to the individual not knowing the time.
They just do it because they can.


Well thats probably true unfortunately.
