Surely it doesn't take that long to disable the console, secure the cab, walk the length of the train, open the cab, enable the console, check things are in order and pull out of the station. Surely a 6-car train shouldn't take twice as long as a 3-car train?

If the driver can have a smoke, then surely there is too much time alloted?
