MEASURES TO IMPROVE JUNCTION CAPACITY

The capacity of the junctions limits the capacity of a Railway Network more than the capacity of individual Railway Line s. This applies more as the network density increases. Measures to improve junctions are often more useful than building new railway lines. The capacity of a railway junction can be increased with improved Signalling measures, by building points suitable for higher speeds, or by turning Level Junction s into Flying Junction s. With more complicated junctions such construction can rapidly become very expensive, especially if space is restricted by Tunnel s, Bridge s or inner-city tracks.
