Has anyone mentioned West India Quay to Canary Wharf on the DLR which the running time between the stations must be 30 seconds or less...!
The platform ends are about one train length apart.

Same for canary wharf to Herons quay??

Earlestown to Newton Le Willows can't be much more than a minute.
Before the station revamp it was easier to get the train from platform 1 at Earlestown and get off at Newton Le Willows than tackle all the steps.

2-3 minutes.

Ryder Brow to Belle Vue must be close.
Timed for 1 minute northbound, 2 minutes southbound.

Bidston to Upton in that direction only is timetabled for one minute. A feat which is impossible; although the WTT shows the ‘real’ times.

The reverse is publicly timetabled for nine to eleven minutes.

Ahhh, I was searching through the comments for this. I don’t know the public timetable, just what it says on my docket, but I have to travel back in time at shotton too (arrive xx57, depart xx55). It’s always been like this. Don’t know why they can’t just put the real times in.
