If this type of station were put as a terminus on an SL, would it work if all the entrances were on one side, the exits on the other, and an entrance/combo signal placed to allow trains to decide whether to choose the even or odd track numbers?  One set of tracks (even/odd) would be at the higher elevation, while the other set would use the tunnel system as originally designed with the presignal bypass structure of the other.  The exit tracks would remain as they are, minus the presignal bypass, and would eventually become the SL.

I believe it'll work best with trains of various speeds, also a version with 2 entrances to presignal block would be even more efficient. ewanm89

Looks good, I agree with Ewanm89 it would work better with 2 entry streams but I think that may be difficult. Great work and an informative wiki article *thumbs up*. Sedontane

SL Terminus

If this type of station were put as a terminus on an SL, would it work if all the entrances were on one side, the exits on the other, and an entrance/combo signal placed to allow trains to decide whether to choose the even or odd track numbers? One set of tracks (even/odd) would be at the higher elevation, while the other set would use the tunnel system as originally designed with the presignal bypass structure of the other. The exit tracks would remain as they are, minus the presignal bypass, and would eventually become the SL. Thraxian 13:27, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
