: Siding "A" at Camberwell (Up end of Camberwell between the Up line
: and the Centre line) is only long enough for a three-car set. It is
: actually slightly longer than that (about four cars), but there is a
: stopping mark prior to the baulks.
Yes, but in answer to his question, they do not shunt 6 car trains
(ie where the driver has to get out) on the main lines expect at
certian locations where a path is provided.
Like; Bayswater, Sandringham, Showgrounds/Felmington Racecourse.
Most sidings (expect Camberwell), or stations (ie, use the platform)
There are a few other places, but I can't remember where they are.
