Nope, infact, the N+PH+FLH had a tighter turnaround. This was also done
in a weird manner as well. Train arrive on platform 1, let out
passengers, loco runs around & couples. Train reverses and pulls into
platform 2 and picks up passengers, all to let a 2 car sprinter set in on
platform 1, which left on platform 1 afterwards. Is this really needed? I
would have thought: Keep N+FLH+PH on plat 1, and take the sprinter in and
back out again on plat 2.
