Shunting is a bit like chess. We've always got to plan ahead.
Friday Day Shift is particularly important for us as we don't just plan for the next day, but for the whole weekend and Monday morning.
Let's run through what happens...

Each week we are sent a Carriage Working Notice (CWN) for each day of that week. This is a working timetable showing every train movement planned for that day at each location.
I can't share the exact document, but @RealtimeTrains looks very similar.

Using Saturday as an example, I can see all the trains in the places I'm responsible for (Bognor Sidings, Middle Road and Station).
The CWN also tells us train formations (not shown on Realtime Trains yet for GTR).
From this we can then work out how many trains we need.

OTD a year ago 20/12/2019 I met the likes of @DavidHorne @RAIL @MrTimDunn @gawuffy @KateLNER1 @richardsalkeld @geofftech @VickiExplores @Modern_Railways @richardprice101 @Coastway_Will for the last day of #LetsGoRoundAgain #HSTFarewell #Intercity125 on @LNER
What a day it was!
What a day it was!
I joined from @NetworkRailLDS to @NetworkRailKGX We had a good trip, up the ECML with everyone in good spirits on the train! I grew up with the HSTs on the ECML & it was a nice way to remember my late grandfather who used to take me to spots along the line to see them...
I somehow featured in @LNER Final Day highlights video talking about this & remembering them in #Intercity Swallow livery 🖤❤️
RIGHT! As #RailwayArchitecture finished last week and Twitter put up with it for 10 long weeks (yes, I know I'm firmly on many mute lists now…) I thought it apt to tweet personal thanks and credit. And uh-oh, it's become a thread. So... (1/16)
Thank you to all 65 (sixty-five!) experts who contributed on-screen to #RailwayArchitecture. For your time, knowledge, expertise and joy. I never thought we'd have such a diverse range of voices and I am so pleased that we did. (2/16)
Everybody who contributed off-screen, by advising, by helping, or by saying absolutely no Tim do NOT touch that put it BACK; or by making things happen and by opening doors that we never dreamed that might be opened for us. (3/16)
