Normally at the latest you'd be out before 2pm, as the afternoon session starts at 2.30pm and there's a turnaround. I normally book a train around 2.30pm ish, or an hour later if you're going to do lunch after the session.
If the session finishes early you can always head to Winter Gardens to see Hazel and the team
The general rule is that the final frame of a session can start no later than 1.45pm, so sometimes if it gets to around 1.50pm the ref will indicate to both players if half way through a frame that this is the last one.
Hope that helps.
