A question about how these are diagrammed.
Looking at the timetable, since the extra Newark trains were linked in with the Matlock service, I notice that some of them spend up to half an hour at Newark before returning to Nottingham and Matlock.
As far as I know, there is no siding anywhere in the Newark area on the Midland line so do the units stand on a running line all of that time? It sounds rather odd to have a line occupied for such a length of time.
Also, which crossover do they use to return? The one in Newark Castle station doesn't seem to leave enough space for a unit between the point ends and the home signal.
