Another thing which can be elsewhere than in the main X is the reverser. So we can just put it in a separate place. The thing that slows the most is the depot, especially with longer trains. While this already tries to reduce the stress on the incoming line, the total low throughput remains. However if we fix those things, we obviously do get a proper overflow, but have to sacficice some space to do that, which can not always be the most convenient thing to do. The design lacks two main things, first one is a prio for incoming line, that entering trains can be blocked by exiting in case of terminus station, and obviously a slow depot. (only in cases you really need to keep yourself 100% sure that you will not get a backlog of trains just because of too many trains waiting for cargo or in case you use conditional orders) While this thing has quite a few flaws and is severely slow, it is usually enough for primaries if you need the overflow for them. That basically meant that every overflow requires having a reverser, which basically eliminated many of the compact, super simple designs, and the design above started to dominate as it is trivial to copy. Once upon a time, the norm of overflows has gotten a new addition – that every depot should be hidden for the pathfinder.

Attached savegameĪs always, I add a savegame along with overflow article. Most overflows will not work without setting yapf.rail_firstred_twoway_eol = 1įor more info see relevant wiki page. I also did not mark the images with colours etc as much as I did previously, simply because recoznizing these should already be piece of cake if you want this article to be anyhow useful for you. Therefore I strongly recommend to read ABR04: Overflows and ABR08: Overflows II before reading this one. I will of course not repeat many things, especially roles of each component in overflow stations. The new most notable features I will present is the combo-signalled reverser and techniques of high throughput overflow stations. The article is not sorted chronologically, I am just going to describe a few concepts of designs, and sort them by complexity or just by how I think it is practical to build such an overflow. Also you will be able to read about some less overflow related things, but vital for general building.

You can get to the Centrale Metro station without leaving the building, and just outside of the train station, you can catch several city bus and tram lines.Let me introduce you to the third part of the Overflow series of ABR, in this article I aim to note the most interesting innovations to overflow construction which are not described in the previous articles. The ground level is where you'll find the large ticket office, the KiPoint left luggage facility, a post office, and most of the shops and restaurants in the station. On the mezzanine and upper levels there are more shops and restaurants. The lowest level of the station has shops, restaurants, and an entry to the Milan Metro. There is a Sala Freccia Club across from Track 21, for travelers with a Gold or Platinum CARTAFRECCIA card or an Executive or AV Salottino ticket, and a Sala Blu next to track four, for passengers with disabilities who need special assistance. On the platform level of the station, there are a few shops and restaurants, as well as an information office. Over 320,000 people passing through the station daily. There is regular daily service to cities throughout Italy, as well as international destinations in other parts of Europe. There are 24 tracks at Centrale, with a soaring glass and metal arched roof over the platforms.

It's the second-largest station in Italy, behind Roma Termini. The imposing design of the building’s facade was intended to showcase the dominance of then-Prime Minister Mussolini's fascist regime. It was opened in the early 1930s, replacing an older and smaller station. Milano Centrale is the main train station for this major northern Italian city.
