I'd rather have a 5 minute connection that I make 8 times out of 10 than a 'guaranteed' 35 minute connection, because the official minimum is 10 minutes.
Including fixed local connections on Advances is annoying. You get to the platform in plenty of time for the unofficial connection and have to sweet-talk the guard into letting you on, rather than just being able to board.
Making a 9 minute connection at Leeds from an inbound LNER to an outbound Airedale service is very easy. What is annoying is when the inbound is late, you miss the connection, and aren't entitled to Delay Repay.
