2005 Module 2 Layout Calculations

[PJW]

Hello PJW,

Thank you for your reply.

So for the exams, I will put in a contingency of 20% on the Non-Stopping operational headway and and 10% on the Stopping operational headway to derive the headway distance.

Point noted about reading the question and understanding the examiners requirements.

Will submit by 2nd June my 2005 Calculations taking into account all that has been mentioned in this posting.

Cheers

I was meaning that you shouldn't go into the exam with any pre-conceived values but make your mind up having asessed how many trains per hour are to use the layout and any "hidden" contingency; however if you want a number then I think that 10% in each case would be a better default.
