How to do it anti-effective:
1. Annonce the train track only 4 min before departure
2. Have only one stairs (plus elevator) to access the platform.
3. Place the train away from that access.
4. Close off half of the (already narrow) platform.
5. Check tickets on the platform.
6. Have passengers finally get on.
7. Leave with a 10 min delay

For more than 30 degreeasons we took the bus for two stops. Tickets available at the driver. But no card payment (in a country where you casually pay by card at the bakery) and no big bills (like 50€) either. So we had no way to pay. Someone beeped his pass for us. Thank you so much, stranger! We will pass it on.

Arrived on time, would have had plenty of time to make our connection of 15 min. But No. This was not bookable, only the one with 75 min layover. And thanks to the mandatory reservations, you can't just hop on the earlier train. Spain, wanna work on this or invest another billion on a new high speed line? Both saves one hour. Choose wisely.
