I have a tight transfer from my morning train to bus. The train is supposed to get in at 8:18 and the bus is suppose to leave at 8:20.
Sometimes the train is late. Sometimes the bus is late. I usually catch the bus, or miss the bus by a lot. Occasionally, the bus is just pulling away as I exit the station, but there's a traffic light at the exit of the bus stands, and if the bus gets stopped there the bus drivers will open the doors for me if I tap on them.
But not this new driver this morning. The train was 90 seconds late. I come out of the station to see the bus just pulling away from the stop. But the lights are red and he stops. I tap on the doors. Just a shake of his head. And he set off 10 seconds early too. Grrr.....
(I got a radio synchronised watch for my birthday. I know that my watch is never more than a second off GMT/BST.)
