I have now uploaded for review a pair of timetables for Marylebone, dated 5th November 2020. One includes LUL, one does not. I will update this thread with links once they are approved. This timetable is intended to represent the timetable in force at the time, which was regularly changing as the country emerged from COVID lockdowns. All stock allocations are as they happened on the day, with unit numbers and formations taken directly from TRUST (you will see these in the individual train descriptions). The sim should be run in 2016 mode, and Chalfont Autumn Overlaps should be switched ON as the leaf fall timetable was in force on the met at this time, allowing trains more time to travel between Amersham/Chesham and Rickmansworth. Any platform conflicts in the sim are as they appeared in real life, and it is up to the signaller as to how to resolve these. Please also pay close attention to stopping patterns, as these can vary wildly from one train to the next. There are a few niggles with ARS and ACI, these are detailed in the timetable description. The platforming and depot moves at Aylesbury and associated sidings are worked on a "best guess" as data for these shunts was not available. As such, I have found a way which (just about) works, which is not necessarily reflective of reality. Siding 4 has generally been kept clear throughout the timetable as a spare siding to use for shunting/dumping a failure. Timetables are taken from Network Rail CIF data and section CG of the working timetable applicable at the time. Allocations are taken from TRUST (Chiltern services) and Realtime Trains (CrossCountry services). London Underground services have been taken from TTN 125/20. Every tube train has been given a letter identifier as to its destination, these are detailed in the relevant timetable notes. Service frequencies from Marylebone: There are a lot of variations, particularly in the peaks, but the service patterns are largely as follows: 2 trains per hour (tph) to each of: -Birmingham Moor St/Snow Hill (with some peak extensions to/from Stourbridge or Kidderminster). -Oxford -Aylesbury via Rickmansworth, one of which extends to Aylesbury Vale Parkway. 1 train per hour (tph) to each of: -Aylesbury via High Wycombe, however a Princes Risborough-Aylesbury shuttle exists at peak times. -High Wycombe (stopping service) -Gerrards Cross (stopping service) -Banbury (semi-fast service), a handful of which extend to such exotic places as Stratford-on-Avon. CrossCountry generally operate an hourly service between Manchester Piccadilly and Reading/Bournemouth. A couple of extra route retention services from Manchester also terminate at Banbury. GWR also operate a stopping service between Didcot Parkway and Banbury a few times a day, including peak workings to/from London Paddington. A number of freight services operate through Banbury, and a daily trip runs from Greenford, through Aylesbury, to the waste terminal at Calvert. Be careful signalling this as letting it out too early can snooker your single lines! London Underground generally operate the following services, all of which call at all stations: -2tph to Amersham -2tph to Chesham -4tph to Watford -8tph to Uxbridge During the peaks, the frequencies increase and fast (calls only at Wembley Park, Harrow-on-the-Hill, Moor Park then all stations) and semi-fast (fast from Wembley Park to Harrow-on-the-Hill) trains make an appearance. I hope you enjoy this timetable, and let me know if you have any feedback or find any bugs. Thanks, Jamie. Log in to reply The following users said thank you: UKTrainMan, GeoffM |
