Don't forget these are long 12 car trains running into or out of the

Those two seem mutually contradictory. There's plenty of time to change
the points while each train is stopped in the station.


When I get some time I shall re-run something on a simulator that
shows why a platform stop right next switches either upstream or
downstream of a convergance point does reduce theoretical headway be
it conventional block or moving block signalling.
