While I was on a Manchester to Bournemouth train today when we arrived at Macclesfield a family of two adults and four children noticed we were at their stop and suddenly got up and started to exit the train naturally trying to get 4 children from sitting down to getting off the train when the doors are already open is a difficult task and needless to say they didn't manage it and they ended up having to go to Stoke-on-Trent. Naturally they thought it was the fault of the rail company for not giving them enough time to get off as despite being 4 minutes late CrossCountry should have waited longer.
I was wondering when you start getting ready to leave the train though do you wait until the announcement for your station? Do you have a set landmark where once you see it you know its time to start getting ready to get off? Or do you wait until the train enters the station?
I personally have set landmarks for each station that I know when I pass its time for me to start getting ready to exit the train.
