  2. What is Freight? • B – BIG • H – HEAVY • S – SLOW

  3. What does Freight mean forTrain Planners? • Variety of wagon types, size and shape • Therefore, must have different dimensions overall • Carry different commodities • To a lesser extent, but not so less important, is a variety of locomotive type (primarily Class 66, 57, 60, 47, 37) plus electric (90/92)

  4. The Freight Package Overall • Something that is heavier is slower (consider how we need to develop a timetable) • Something that is slower will get caught up by something faster (consider headways) • It could need somewhere to ‘get out of way’ to let faster things past (utilisation of available asset, loops) • It could be Out of Gauge (3973)

  5. TIME is MONEY • And it could be mine if we get it wrong, so let’s talk to each other, and help each other get it right.
