Hello,
An interesting question from a friend, upon which I am not sure of the right answer.
The minimum connection time at BHM (Birmingham New Street) is 12 minutes. Many of the cross country NE-SW trains have station time of less than this (though some do have 12/13 minutes).
My question is, can split advances ignore the published minimum interchange time if they are on the same train?
Of course, as we all know, in the event of serious disruption north of derby, cross country often restart a service at BHM using a spare set, if one is available.... And this could be where the problem lies.
