It's good to know the reasoning and the detailed procedures involved. Shame the guard couldn't tell me similar!

The Guard had other priorities, hence why he 'fobbed' you off.

As has been said, the Guard had probably already signalled to the Driver to go, which means even if he wanted to re-release the doors, it wouldn't have been safe to do so. I was a little confused by your initial post in that you said it was the 1928hrs departure, but then said it was the 1929hrs somewhere else. If it was 2-seconds to 1928hrs and the train was scheduled to depart at 1929hrs, assuming you're using the station information display clocks as your means of reading the time, then the train did leave a little early, and MAY have grounds to complain. If it was a typo and the departure was 1928hrs, it's your own fault I'm afraid!

Yes, it was the 19:28 departure.

Sounds about as exciting as watching paint dry! She should try Angry Birds!
