Good morning everyone!
Just a simple question: Has anyone ever noticed a train departing ahead of schedule, or has had the misfortune of being left behind because a train departed before it was due?
Just today my morning train to Ermesinde tried to depart three minutes ahead of schedule, only to be stopped by a red light at the end of the station.
This same train has also left me behind already departing 1:30 minutes before schedule, which really upset me.
In my college years there was also this one driver I came across between Porto and Aveiro that consistently locked the doors early, as to keep passengers from boarding close to, and at, departure time.
He really infuriated me once when changing trains at Porto - Campanhã: The driver close the doors shut 30 seconds before departure and, despite all my pleads, left me behind.
I arrived 45min late to class because of this.
