Abstract—When two or more lines of urban rail transit share aspects of manual labour, land, maintenance and layout of
the same train depot and the train types are compatible, the operation equipment and facilities, etc[4,5]. the research on the
sharing of train depot provides a basis for the preparation of a sharing of train stocks is still needed. In terms of the
unified train turnover plan of multiple lines. There are some optimization of train stocks operation plan, the theoretical

opportunity for the coordination and complementation of train of multiple lines is still less, and the research on the

Station A and station B are set as terminal stations,
where the train completes turn back. The operation diagram of As shown in Fig. 2, assume that the upward direction is
