Hmm, I wonder if that will be alternate trains or splitters

Presumably alternate trains as VXC do now.

You can't have 'splitters' in this country. The general public are too
stupid to cope!

That's a bit anti-Scot! The English seem to cope OK.

Indeed! We have several 'splitters' on 'One'. The Mon - Fri 16.45
from Liverpool Street splits at Colchester, with half going on to
Clacton and half to Harwich.

That seems to be the only example in the current timetable on the
Colchester line...
