The carstop signs here refer to where the fronts of trains of differing lengths should stop to be well aligned with the entrance to the platform. For example, platforms have Carstop S at the down ends of the platforms (under the overbridge) meaning the front of the train should stop there for all lengths, and Carstop 4, 6, 8-10 signs at varying points in the up direction of the platforms, indicating the train should stop at the sign for that length of train. -- Regards, Thomas Wood (Edgemaster) _______________________________________________ Talk-transit mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-transit
