Liepāja train changes schedule: a few minutes earlier, but later, but still on time
While people at Riga Central Station are still trying to figure out what a schedule is, the Liepāja train is already changing times like a true local wind - unpredictably, but with purpose.
Sensation in the railway world! State JSC "Latvian Railway" has announced that train schedules between Liepāja and Riga will change in May, and these changes are as complex as the organ score of the Holy Trinity Cathedral - you can hear the sound from the yard, but only specialists can understand what's happening.
From May 13th to 15th, the Liepāja train will arrive 12 minutes later but depart 12 minutes earlier. Mathematicians have been trying to explain how this is possible for three days now, but local passengers just shrug their shoulders - they've long gotten used to time following its own laws in Liepāja. As old Jānis from Grobiņa says: "The train can come whenever it wants, the main thing is that it comes at all."
The most interesting part starts from May 19th, when four services will change schedules differently. One will depart a few minutes later, another will arrive earlier, the third will depart as usual, but the fourth - one minute later. This precision reminds one of Riga bureaucracy, only with a positive result - the trains actually run.
The best news is that everything is clearly written in the "Vivi" mobile app. While people at Riga Central Station try to decipher information on the display boards, Liepāja passengers simply download the app and see everything clear as day. As always - provincial practicality beats the capital's complexity.
