It says 10 minutes should be allowed for check in though.

It says 10 minutes should be allowed for check in though.

It's operated by the same craft, so I'd argue that those rules apply.

Have a look on Bus Times.

 

[Esker-pades]

Have a look on Bus Times.

I'd say that check-in times count as part of interchange times, therefore one is allowed to ignore said times because it is operated by the same craft.

However, I'll edit my post so as not to hold stuff up any longer.
