Train running requirements in each direction - NJK - 08-08-2012

Dear Members,

I have some doubt in module 2 layout

Train running requirements in each direction

Passenger between A and F (fast) 2 per hour


This 2 train per hour included one train from A and F and another one train from F and A or in one hour 2 train from A and F, and two train from F and A.

Kindly clarify

Regards,
NJK

I am not sure which year's layout you are talking about to be able to check the paper, but from the wording you have quoted, the two trains between A and F fast is a qualifier to the phrase "Train running requirements in each direction", so this would be 2 up trains and two down trains per hour between those two points.

From the way it is written, two trains per hour from A to F (i.e. per direction). As always, it is better to write assumptions down when answering.

I've had a look at the paper and this is indeed what they meant.
