== Operational Tips ==
== Operational Tips ==
−
+
* Keep an eye on the passing times at various junctions - trains may need to be held at red signals to wait for their correct slot.
−
== Trivia ==
+
* Sometimes freight trains can be routed early - but be careful not to delay passenger services as a result!
+
* Make sure to check the timetable details for each service carefully - which route does it need to take? Particularly for freight, the headcodes alone don't always indicate which direction they should go.
+
* Be careful not to set routes too far ahead at Bath Spa in the morning - some trains need to change direction here. Plan which platform they should use accordingly.
