What about Rail. Sys? • Rail. Sys is used to provide the ‘operations tick in the box’ for any scheme • Provides a very powerful visualisation of a timetable • Can be used to identify detailed train path routeing and permits detailed event scenario modelling • It does not do PPM • Of note for engineers; the complexity within the model can vary (even if the model is compliant to NR Opns Build Ver 6) • Simple models are normally optimistic • trains may exhibit movement behaviour which the driver / signaller might not be able to emulate in real life 13
