Week 6 Tutorial: Bidirectional Rail Line

Design a three-lane rail line with a bidirectional middle lane, and verify it under simulated traffic from both directions.

31 August 2026

Before the tutorial

Bring last week’s save. You’ll need rail, signals and at least two trains to test with.

In the tutorial

Build the three-lane line, then run trains from both directions on the middle lane at once and confirm nothing deadlocks.

Afterwards

Next week’s groups will need someone to own exactly this — rail network rules are one of the roles Week 7 asks a team to allocate.

The spec

What you bring to the session. Written so a reader can tell whether it has been met without asking you.
