Some trains join and split at Portsmouth Harbour and Portsmouth & Southsea - be sure to route the second train onto the back of the correct train already in the station!

Where paltform sharing is required, it is advised that the first train to arrive be taken under signaller control once it has become the next service. This allows and subsequent trains to access the platform, using the "calling-on" feature included in the simulator. Remember to return the first train to timetable control before its scheduled departure though!

Be careful to route trains in the correct order. This is particularly important in the Fratton area, with trains entering and exiting the depot, but also at the triangle junction between Cosham, Hilsea and Bedhampton. Some trains to Brighton may stop at every station while others run fast, so the express service will typically be routed in front of the stopper. This should be clear from inspecting the arrival and departure times at the major stations (given below). The junction at Havant is also important - don't give trains a route out of platform 1 towards Brighton too early or you may find the line from Guildford blocked at the wrong time!
