Timetabling - station Stopping positions Yesterday at 20:37 #158333
rfw 160 posts	I am looking for more detail as to what the stopping positions of FX, F, N & NX actually mean. I know what they stand for and what they do on a basic level (see my attached graphic). In the forum I found the following: bill_gensheet in post 149882 said: Then the forced stopping behaviours: FX = far end exact = 2m short of the signal F = far end - 20m from signal or whatever defensive driving asks for NX = near end exact = rear 2m past the signal N = near end - 20m past the signal or whatever defensive driving asks for. (?) Adjust then adds or subtracts. So if you have a train stopping where the loco runs round, you need to be sure there is a loco length clear at the back. So NX+25, or back calculate for an FX and train length. In this above post extract I am reading 'platform end' where it says 'signal' because not all platforms have signals at both ends. I take it also that if there is a signal at the far end of the platform, defensive driving rules will override the platform stop position if that signal is on and defensive driving rules conflict with the stopping position. Please could someone confirm or correct this information Post has attachments. Log in to view them. The train now standing on platform 2, should be on the rails Last edited: Yesterday at 20:38 by rfw Reason: Formatting & pressed post before I meant to Log in to reply
