What about tube trains leaving 1 minute and 20-30 seconds before their departure time?
At Willesden Junction they don't say next train in 2 minutes, thu actually state the time. How I fairly often catch the 7.37am to Harrow and Wealdatone. A fair amount of the time it departs early. The earliest I've come across was 1 minute 30 seconds, although there was another time when I didn't even see the train listed and it was pre 7.37.
I can understand Euston trains closing their doors early but surely Tube trains don't need 2 minutes?
As it is, if they were to put next train in 2 minutes, they would invariably be 3 minutes or it often seems to be an extra minute in central London in the time they put. But that's another discussion.
For some train services I know I need to turn up early. E.g. Southern services from Harrow and Wealdstone. However in contrast, I do not need to turn up early for Lodon Midland services, even those departing ahortly before the Southern services because they are rarely on time during the rush hour (yet southern is) and when they are, they still arrive at the depature time rather than before it.
