Platform, Loop & Siding Lengths

Lengths are those used in the sim. Where there is more than one TC the lengths are given starting from the left and working right. Distances are full TC lengths up to signals if there are any and so maybe longer than the actual platform length. Trains will stop short of signals so usable length may be around 10m less than given.

Sidings

If [exit] is shown the siding is normally an exit/entrance point but it is possible to timetable trains to reverse within the siding by use of the stopping point facility within the timetable editor. Most non-exit sidings can be used as seed entrance points.
