It's an issue for me because there's a half hour until the next bus.

The problem is that the bus is timed for trains arriving from the other direction. There's about 10 minutes between that train arriving and the bus leaving.

I'm sure the other drivers *shouldn't* have let me on at that point - it's almost certainly against their safety rules to open the doors somewhere other than the bus stop.

But it was still annoying.
