    Surprise to see none is replying to this. I believe if you don't reply to such posts, member gets encouraged and do it more frequent. Couple of strong replies can take care of such member.

    You did notice the first article is from 2oo1?

    But you can measure delays without a fixed schedule, you just define that the train must reach point B x minutes/seconds after leaving point A, regardless of the absolute time the train is leaving.

    While I don't agree that dumbdonkey is deserving of this, I do think that to respond to an annoying poster is encouraging while ignoring is more effective.

    Though I have seen some extracts of the internal timetable on other places, it is useless on busy routes such as the Kwun Tong Line since trains usually delay and finally two or three departures disappear every day in the peak hours. Though, you may get a copy of the exact timetable of the Tung Chung Line at some stations since the trains are relatively infrequent (8 to 10 minutes headway).
