If an LU train fails between stations and comes to a stand do following
trains successively apply the "stop and proceed" rule leading to an
enormous queue of trains with minimal distance between each one? Does
the train immediately behind the failed train shunt the failed train to
the next station and subsequently to the depot? Is it feasible that the
train behind the failure could be incompatible with the failed train in
which case what happens then?
