I work in train planning in the UK and we don't have anything remotely like TWC and dispatchers. Everything is ridgidly time tabled and the signalling regulators and regional controle only step in when something goes wrong. Now i aquired a copy of Trains from 1985 which had an article about Time Table and train order running on the Katy. I dont understand how a dispatcher plans his meets and i did not understand the references to the schedule? The dispatcher had a train sheet in front of him but it did not say if it was a train graph that the dispatcher filled in as they ordered trains so he could see what sections were occupied or if it was a table that the dispatcher filled in likelly passing times. The author also said a schedule had authorety for 12 hours or some thing and on the day one train was running on another trains schedule. In Britain a train leaves point A at such a time, passes c, d, e, f and g at a specific time and terminated at h at a specific time. I just could not follow the system as to how orders are determined.
