I will normally wait if I know there is a train approaching at an
interchange station, and will always wait if I see passengers
crossing over. However, when there is a two minute service and I
see on the destination board that the train behind me is only a
minute away, I will not usually wait if the approaching train
hasn't actually berthed in the platform as, by the time the
passengers start to get off and walk across, I could have left and
the train behind me started to come into the platform. If i wait,
I will be holding that train (and) others) in the tunnel behind
me.


It's nice to know that there are people with such a well thought out
and considerate attitude to their work.
