I think they should also clarify what it means when they say there is a delay of 10 minutes. Does that mean that the train will show up 10 minutes late, or that it will take 10 minutes longer to get to the end of the route? They should say both things, really.

I agree. In the former case, if the train comes every 10 minutes, and there is a 10 minute delay, wouldn't only that first train be delayed by 10 minutes? After that, the train that shows up now is the train that should have been there 10 minutes ago but you wouldn't know it from any other train, right? They would still be spaced out every 10 minutes, theoretically, right? Or is this similar to the phenomenon where bad traffic will somehow cause 3 or 4 #301 buses to travel together for some reason?
