Train & Patrol
Good morning, Patrol. I've been thinking about how we keep the schedule tight, and I wonder if your guard protocols could help us smooth out delays.
Morning, I’m listening. My guard protocols are built on predictability and redundancy, so they can act like a safety net that also keeps the clock on track. What patterns are causing the delays?
Sounds solid—predictability is key. From what I’ve seen, the main delays come from a few predictable patterns: late-night maintenance that overlaps with peak travel, a handful of freight crossings that aren’t synced with the timetable, and a few crew shift handoffs that slip when a driver is running behind. Tightening those windows a bit could keep the rhythm steady.
That’s the kind of clarity we need. I’ll tighten the maintenance windows to fall strictly between off‑peak hours, shift the freight slots to align with the main timetable, and add a mandatory five‑minute handover buffer for crew changes. It’ll keep the rhythm tight without sacrificing safety. Sound good?
