For those unfamiliar to the world of railways or have had little experience operating one, the double slip point can prove a challenge. To aid new operators unacquainted with double slips I drew up a simple diagram illustrating what lever combinations are required to successfully make each of the four available combinations. This has proven a successful measure for training operators in the use of this particular piece of permanent way. The pictures below illustrate an original diagram and the new computerised diagram for working double slips. So long as operators follow the presented instructions until competent, trains will pass smoothly to their required destinations. A downloadable version of the double slip diagram is available under the 'Resources and Publications' section of the website..
