Relief train

Train with the same times, crossings and garaging points as a scheduled, conditional or special train on a route where the relief train effectively doubles, triples, and so on, the previous train. Relief trains are designated by the same number as the train that they are adding to, followed by the letters A, B, and so on. Trains keep the same designation throughout their journey, irrespective of their actual running order.
