Why don't the trains wait? That's why!

Every time I take a train, I have to start ahead of time, waiting for the moment when I get on the train. So why can't the train come in early and wait for us? (except for the departure station) trains seldom arrive at the station ahead of time. There is a reason! Let's talk about it with Xiaobian.~

01 train runs according to schedule

The train has a strict timetable, and there is a plan for what time to start, where to go, and when to arrive at the station.

The train diagram will be adjusted. Once it is determined, all trains will depart and run on schedule.

The national trains are closely arranged together. If one train is late, the whole trunk line will also be late; if the train arrives early, it may conflict with other trains.

In order to prevent rear end collision, the railway is divided into sections, one section can only allow one train to run.

A certain distance shall be kept before and after each running train on the high-speed railway. Only after the current train passes, other trains can pass.

However, the number of train tracks and station platforms is limited. If there are trains in the front section or platform, you can't get in if you want to. That's what it means to pull one hair and move the whole body.

02 platform receiving plan

"Staff please note that the train from XX station to XX station is about to arrive at this station, please prepare to receive the train." The pick-up we heard at the railway station was actually planned.

It's not just a matter of stopping on the platform when the train enters the station. The big station may need to add water and pump sewage to replace the locomotive head. The small station also needs someone to pick up the train.

Whether the train arrives late or early, it will disrupt the original station plan.

It may cause subsequent trains to change the receiving platform, and passengers of other trains shall change from the original platform to the changed platform.

If the train arrives early and the station is occupied, it is necessary to slow down or stop according to the instructions of the dispatcher, wait for the station to meet the conditions before entering the station.

03 many passengers will not catch up

There are also early arrivals, usually at the terminal, because there is only getting off and no one gets on.

If the midway station arrives early, it will still depart according to the ticket time. Because the passengers don't know whether the train arrives early or not, and not everyone will arrive a long time in advance.

railway network is a huge system. Every railway works hard to ensure the safety of passengers and the smooth operation of the train, so everyone should cooperate with their work.
