Sturges Road
How evenly trains were spaced, and how much extra waiting the uneven gaps added.
On busy lines nobody plans around the timetable. You just turn up, so the gap matters most.
Under half the planned gap counts as bunched, over one and a half times as a long wait. Excess wait is the extra time the average person spent on the platform because of it.
Two bunched trains can both be on time and still leave a 20 minute hole behind them. Excess wait catches that.
Day by day: gaps kept
14 Oct – 27 Oct
How long the waits actually were
Every wait, sorted by how it compared with the gap the timetable promised.
Your wait for a train
The average wait if you turn up without checking the timetable. It adds up from three parts: the wait the timetable's spacing alone would give, the extra from its gaps being uneven, and what late or missing trains added on the day.
Your wait for a train throughout the day
Pick the time you get to the platform and the line shows how long until the next train leaves. Each drop to zero is a train departing, so the high points are the worst moments to turn up.
