Thanks Peter.
(UK Mainline Practice c2000)
Whilst I was unhappy placing a signal a 1300m, the reason I was considering this was due to the operating constraint 'Empty passenger trains shunt between all platforms and the Stabling Siding at C'.
To take an empty train from Station C (DOWN MAIN) platform, it was my intention to take it down the DOWN VALLY BRANCH and then come back using a signal at 1300m to the Branch Platform via the UP VALLEY BRANCH before finally shunting into the Stabling Siding.
The only other way that I could see of performing this move was to shunt the empty train 'bang road' up the DOWN MAIN, and perform successive shunt moves first to Station C (UP MAIN) platform, then down the UP VALLEY BRANCH and finally shunt back to the Branch Platform, or the Up Siding, before moving into the Stabling Siding.
What would you consider to be the most effective way of performing this move?
Thanks
Paul
