General side note/discussion: do we still have to follow the minimum connection time even when we have arrived by bus, or any other form of transport where there is no requirement to abide by a minimum connection time?

Morning,

I believe the opening posts (some thousands of pages earlier) indicate a five minute minimum interchange unless it is demonstrably the same physical bus/train taking us onwards?

On an aside, it’s only by chance that I’ve seen this this morning. Please do reach out to the QM team via PM if need be.

(Edit having now re-read said opening post… the five minutes isn’t specified but is a good rule of thumb. As long as what we’re doing is realistic, don’t overthink it? )
