Operational Tips

  • The timetable included is for a weekday running in March 2023.
  • The project has been annotated with line paths. These are Down Main (DM), Down Fast (DF), Down Slow (DS), Down Goods (DG), Down Passing Loop (DPL), Up Main (UM), Up Fast (UF), Up Slow (US) and Up Passing Loop (UPL).
  • Each train has been given a path or platform allocation at the end of the description. This can be used as a guide for ensuring trains use the designated platforms assigned to them if stopping, or the line it must use if passing. The allocations will change if trains stop at Grantham or Newark.
  • Check the allocation for regional Grantham services as some trains will use the terminating Platform 3, whilst the majority will use Platform 4.
  • Trains will only be 2 minutes away from Carlton-on-Trent Level Crossing (MCB-CCTV) when entering from Doncaster. A red warning message will appear at the top of the screen as a alert to lower the level crossing. Being late in doing so will cause the train to begin to slow down.
