I have been in contact with GWR as one guard decided to close the doors 1 min 30 secs before departures (much more than 40 seconds they advertise!), and the customer support gave this reason:
To me it seems ridiculous to ask passengers to arrive 15 mins early!
Thankfully, I haven't seen it, but does anyone have any ideas what health and safety procedures require train doors to be closed 15 mins before departure?
We do ask that customers arrive 15 minuets before their intended journey as the doors can be closed during this time. This is due to ensuring that all the health and safety procedures have been carried out before departure.
