When was the last time you were waiting on the platform for what seemed like an eternity only to have the next train blow right past you?
I’ve witnessed it a lot lately. At least 3 times in the last 5 days actually. Luckily for me, I was already on board the train doing the bypassing. So my local train got to run express for a few stops. Honestly, it feels awesome.
It totally sucks though if you’re the one on the platform.
Sometimes, the trains get so backed up that there are massive gaps between trains. So, the train dispatchers instruct the trains to skip stops in order to catch up and spread the load out. It will slow down as it approaches the station and beep the horn in two short bursts. That’s the sound of you getting screwed.
In most cases, there’s another train a minute behind the one that just blew past you (like they say in the announcements).
Have you witnessed it a lot lately?
