And you can combine different routes, so a train arriving in one one route then forma a train going back out on a different route. This can reduce the number of units required, but doesn't help when disruption occurs, as it causes disruption to spread to other routes (as does having crews...

Being pedantic, tripcocks don't prevent a SPaD, they bring the train to a stand if it has a SPaD
