after arrival. With no flexibility unless the employee so wishes.

That's incorrect too - there is supplying / restocking time too -
which inevitably involves a picker & a deliverer....it's heavy on
staff costs. Plus someone to check cash against records....

That is correct - but they get paid until they reach clocking off
point. And overtime kicks in immediately the train is delayed.
