They changed the policy maybe 5-years ago about a train waiting for a late train to come in because they found that it added additional delays to the entire system. I prefer the new way.

> it added additional delays to the entire system

Yes, obviously. And that hurts statistics. That's like killing sick cattle to be able to say that 100% of yours are healthy.

No, it means they contain the damage and run the system in a healthy manner.
Exactly, seriously complaining about the fact that the system is designed to run on time rather than trickle down delays is beyond me.
