It must have been a very boring day in the newsroom. Perhaps the reporter used to work for John Craven's Newsround.

Dear oh dear!

I have always wondered what the siding at Bedwyn was for!   ;D

Yes ... that is back to basics.   But - is it only basics for our members here?

We headline as being a passenger forum, for passengers, and there are many, many passengers who travel by train but take zero interest in how things work beyond their little bubble.  So perhaps there remains a strong case for such descriptions of how trains are "turned around" to help people taking a step forward?

From my IT training examples ... there was a great tendency for providers of software to write instructions such that the first example was the simplest possible - a program to print out "Hello World" was the classic, and then the second example climbed not one rung of the ladder, but went on to show all the clever things that could be done from the top.  We made an excellent living filling in the gaps - second and third run examples rather than example 2 being clever code than scrolled on for several pages.
