There are two routes from Paneriai towards Valčiūnai used by trains serving Vaidotai staff halts ( see LT12/3) , a direct south curve and longer outside curve leading away from the north side platform that climbs to cross over the Kaunas main line. Both curves are reversibly signalled and rail staff confirm that which curve is taken is variable and subject to regulation. See also [[Vaidotai]]
Radviliškis station lies between two marshalling yards, one to the NW and another, larger yard to the SE. Trains from Šiauliai run on the south side of both yards whereas those from the Vilnius direction run on the north side of the yards. The maximum separation of these running lines in the larger yard is over 300 m.

In 2010/11 two afternoon services on the  Vilnius – Senosios Stasylos line  were  diverted via the western part of the Vilnius southern avoiding line as a service to railway staff working in Vaidotai marshalling yard. The southbound service takes running lines on the south west side of Vaidotai yard and  the northbound train running lines on the north east side. There are identically named staff halts at Vaidotai KIK, MRC & AIK on each separate line. Calls at these halts are listed as footnotes in the journey planner and appear on the printed timetable sheets available from major stations. See also [[Vaidotai]]
