Haywards Heath was allegedly the first station where the practice of ‘slip coaches’ was used. From 1858 onwards, portions for Hastings were dropped from London to Brighton expresses here.

The final use of slip coaches on BR was during 1960 at Bicester North.

There are no bay platforms at Peterborough, all 7 being available for through traffic. This is also the case with the 6 platforms at Liverpool South Parkway.

When RETB was first introduced on the Far North and Kyle lines the control centre was at Dingwall but was later relocated to Inverness.
