Ever been on a train where it drops off a few carriages? ;-)

No I'm too young.

Still quite common round here.

That's splitting train, not yer actual slip coach.

Still takes time. Even with the conductor helping out. Something those
wanting driver only trains like to ignore.

That's what the platform staff are for.

What platform staff?

The ones I see on the platform all the time at Ashford.

Ah. Right. The station in the UK all others are to be judged by.

And would it make more sense to have someone kicking their heels
on a quiet station platform just for the purpose of helping out
when a train splits?

Why would a train split at a quiet station? Much more likely at a busy
station, a junction such as Ashford is.

Really? So all junctions are automatically busy at all times of the day?
