English Teamwork 2 planning and discussion

[Sascha Claus]

Oh my God,

what’s that? Mice in the basement of Strone station! I should sent in a Cat! Although it will be a long time until the Clydeshire Airport Train arrives in Inverfyne …

Would it make sense to have one or two additional ICE services to/from Redbanks? We might as well fill the gaps in service in the evenings and mornings - I would be happy to accept either of the two suggested extra services, or both

Certainly, no problem. The consolidated timetable would then look like this:

ICE 29  ICE 31  ICE 33  ICE 35  ICE 37  ICE 39  ICE 41  ICE 43

Of course, trains are named in both directions; and three of the names would be available as Morning … and Evening … version.

ICE 42 would stable overnight to become ICE 35, ICE 36 would stable during the afternoon to become ICE 43. Alternatively there could be a minor maintenance workshop handling minor repairs in Redbanks, and these ICE would then run empty to/from Rhennir between services.

Or find something else for these DMUs to do, to avoid poor equipment utilisation. The Rhennir trains could go to Inverfyne (city), that would be nice for a daytrip from the big city to the small seaside town (Resorter?). It should be possible for the 14:27 arrival to do a run to Inverfyne and back and then do the 20:02 departure with time to spare; even more so for the 20:02 arr. to be back at 11~50 the next morning.

A similar daytripper Inverfyne (city) <-> Pembroke (Pleasurer?) would be nice, but to form the 06~35 train, it would have to leave ungodly early in Inverfyne.

Also, I found this gem:

This line in addition to IC6 which runs Redbanks - Rhennir every two hours, and continues to Pembroke every four hours. Rhennir - Pembroke is not electrified.

I feel the urge to steal the Rhennir trains and lead them into Warstones. And run trains connecting with the Pembroke trains.

Please, steal them They end in Rhennir 10, 14, 18, and 22:47, and start from there 9, 13, 17, and 21:30

So far, no IC6 in sight anywhere yet. But when you start work on that route, would you mind extending the Rhennir trains to a dummy station at the border and prepare timetable slots for the trains connecting with the Pembroke ones?

Interesting suggestions. Which route would the ICE take from Rhennir to Inverfyne? Via the coast (Kidderminster)? Via Alvechurch? Or via Cairndow? I would prefer the coastal route aimed at leisure travellers. Speaking of:

I am working on the timings until the border from Rhennir. Is the line electrified on your side? It's not on my side
The line from Pembroke to the nearby border will also receive timings soon.
