Rotterdam Centraal. The platform screen on track 14 is stating “8 minuten” at the train announcement for the Intercity Utrecht Centraal. A man asks me what that means. I explain it is a countdown until departure. The man is utterly confused, he thought that when there is a train it will depart asap and not wait???
@smveerman That might sound ludicrous at first, but, if you think about it, nobody teaches people that at big stations trains can wait, and at most of the stations trains do wait only a minute or even less.
