Ultimately, it was decided that, in the base case, only the section between London and Windsor would be initially constructed with single track(with double track passing locations).

Observations of human teachers who interleave opportunistic and plan-based styles have led a number of researchers to suggest the need for some sort of internal "agenda", which would keep track of active subgoals and emergent goals and provide a complex triggering context for didactic operations(Collins et al., 1975b; Collins and Stevens, 1982; Leinhardt and Greeno, 1986). The triggering context, of course, provides important constraints and resources by focusing didactic operations on recognized opportunities or prevailing plans. However, there are additional considerations on which to base decisions, and this section identifies three potential sources of both constraints and resources for systems : didactic, domain-specific, and diagnostic information. 1, record 20, English, - triggering%20context
