→Crossing Trains: aargh stupid mistake!
Because of this procedure, it is normal that the first train to arrive at a crossing place is usually the last one to leave it. The timetable will be written to take account of this. The timetable is also normally written to try to make sure that the first train to arrive will be the one on the furthest track from the signalbox. This makes things much easier for the signalman and helps the crossing go more smoothly, because the signalman will have less walking to do.
Crossing trains in this way is only done at two stations on the SVR: [[Arley]] and [[HighleyHampton Loade]]. Although trains can also pass each other at [[Bewdley]], this is not technically 'crossing trains' as described here, because Bewdley station has a stretch of double track between its two signalboxes, signalled using the [[Absolute Block]] regulations.
