When driving the Baker Street Fast service, how does the driver know which stations to stop at - is it line knowledge or is there a device that tells them.

As PP says it's all in the timetable, though for much of the day the pattern is pretty much standard. There are only the odd couple of exceptions in the peaks. It's much the same way as NR drivers know where to stop, and to watch some of the Met drivers sometimes, you would think they were driving huge pullman services rather than 8 cars of A-stock! Having said all that though, it has been known for trains booked to stopped at certain places to sail straight through, though luckily this has never happened in the bay roads at Baker Street ;D |
