I don't know what all the fuss is about. Arriva Trains Wales aren't really doing anything new. In this country train doors have always been shut (and in recent years, locked) before the train departs and it usually takes approximately 30 seconds. Surely, nobody in their right mind would deliberately arrive at a station less than 30 seconds before the published departure time? As for "staff making use of whistles to signal imminent departure to all concerned", Arriva certainly don't have a monopoly on that. It happens at larger stations all over the network every day.
I think it's another case of the media looking for problems that don't actually exist just so they can have another "dig" at the railways.
