Bob, It was explained (because I asked that same question) to me that the second class trains were timetable eastbound and trainorder westbound which is why you don't see the return train in the ETT. This was due to the eastbound trains leaving before the tower opened to issue train orders. List, If I explained this wrong, or misunderstood the original reply, please correct my answer. Thanks.
