The Reading Fasts usually run on the Down Slow and can thus overtake
stoppers going to Richmond or Hounslow, and additionally are able to
traverse Barnes Junction in parallel with the Hounslows without conflict.
Not sure which line UP Fast trains use habitually, but the Slow could be
used if a parallel movement is coming off the Houslow line.

Sorry, meant the Fast Richmond trains could use the Up Fast in parallel with
a Hounslow Stopper on the Up Slow through Barnes Junction.
