How do trams or trains turn around at Zoutplas Centrum

Post by NJTFAN1235! »

As the question states: There's a code on Line 12, 11 and Line D, it says R – Zoutplas Centrum. How can the trains and trams exactly turn around at that stop?

Here is a view of the layout from the CVL editor. As I see it; coming from Hageningen, all tracks can be used to reverse and go back to Hageningen.
Coming from Simvliet, only track 4 (block 728) can be used to reverse.
Coming from Zoutplas Molenpark, both tram tracks can be used to reverse.

Just look at the CVL. The stations with crossovers nearby are stations where you can tripper/short turn.

Why do Essim Zuid trains use the side platform

Post by NJTFAN1235! »

Okay, new question, so at Essim Centraal, why do Essim Zuid trains always use platform 12? This is not a bad thing, but, I'm curious, why not let the Intercities and Sneltreins stop at Platform 12 and have the Essim Zuid trains stop at a island platform to connect with other trains?

Edit: Platform 12, thanks Michiel.

I guess you mean platform 12? There is no platform 1 at Essim. Anyway the intercity's have a cross-platform interchange with the invisible IntercityDirect service to Rijndam through the unconnected channel tunnel so they need to use the island platforms 2/3 and 10/11, leaving platforms 5/6, 7/8 and 12 for the sprinter services.

So lemme get it straightened, platforms 2/3 & 10/11 are Sneltrein and Intercity platforms, whereas the others are Sprinter platforms, I noticed that Essim Central platform 6 & 7 have no uses, maybe there's something that can happen in the future. But, no offense, we'd probably need stairs to platform 12 if passengers are gonna need to catch those trains to Essim Zuid.

Because..... Wait.... I actually don't know now. But what I can say is that Essim's platform calls are not new....

I also don't see, the codes for E makes trains end, but, how exactly can they turn around, in question? THE Track layout for Essim Centraal MAKES IT A CONFUSING MAZE!!!!!

Sorry... It's just that Essim's main station seems confusing. The track layout actually.....
