Trains no longer waiting for pulling-up train

(snip) I thought that the compulsory/request distinction referred only to people waiting at the stop, and that passengers on the bus were expected to ring the bell for any stop. I demur. I was always under the impression that a compulsory stop meant that technically speaking the bus should always stop, so theoretically there's no need for passengers on board to ring the bell. Also drivers often seem/seemed to adopt the practice of slowing down for a compulsory stop, and if no passenger on board looks/looked like they are/were going to get off (i.e. no one near the door or standing up) and there is/was no-one at the bus stop then the driver will/would just continue without stopping (the choices in tense for that past paragraph reserves judgement to the reader as to whether such a practice continues today! - I'd say the practice still happens some of the time). |
