Six trains will be operated in sequence, much in the
same way as County Gate. The trains coming from County
Gate will not be required to wait outside the passing
loop until the other train has arrived. Colour light
starting signals are fitted and these will be controlled
by the switches installed in the Tortoise motors. The
layout has a fiddle yard whose points are
this time, operated by Tortoise motors. Two of the
ladders in the fiddle yard allow for two trains (Cliffhanger
Shuffle).
The
funicular will operate independently of the trains with
a timed wait top and bottom.
