I definitely agree that it's a limited sample size.

However, what did impress me was that no T/O was able to get into the station in under 80 seconds, while 5 out of 7 who were in the right place were able to get there within 80 to 87 seconds. That suggests that 80 (or at best 75) is a real lower bound until the signaling is improved.

The other thing that impressed me was the frequent occurence of arbitrary events (3 out of 10 trains) that added 15-30 seconds to dwell time without any unusual crowding being present.
