I don't think the time outside the system is critical to causing the
problem here (except in as much as making it possible to transact your
genuine business within the transfer time).

You're just as likely to "time out" on a through journey that "wasn't" if
you spend 15 minutes transferring as 2 minutes.

Maybe if it times out, then, it should be reconstructed as two journeys
split at the last OSI touched. Or can't it do that?
