I'm running the 2003 timetable and am around 0600 with many freight trains wanting to seemingly go through Basford Hall yard. Do all trains containing SSN/SSM in the timetable need to go via the yard, or can some be routed via the Up Independent lines? At present Up Arr 1/2/Loop are backed up.

No. Anything timed to Basford Hall and beyond can take any route to get there. The yard can be used to recess upto 3 up trains (4 if you count the UTS), or they can be simply routed via the Up Independent. It might handle more, but isn't a case I'd considered until now. If of course the train terminates in the yard, then it must go in. James Log in to reply The following user said thank you: snbower |

The only real problem I've run into during the 2003 timetable is a train that sits at SSN for five hours waiting crew, but is too long to use the TS or IL without blocking the rest of the yard. So I send it into the Up Loop, where it happily sits - but nothing enters from the Up Loop entry point. Probably the train is sitting on the entry track or is otherwise interfering with the entry conditions.
