   The reason I mention 'trains' is if consult the Starlink tracker website   
   I previously mentioned, you'll often see "new" satellites in a 300km or   
   so 'parking' orbit and very tightly spaced. No coverage circles are   
   usually associated with these satellites so I presume they are not yet   
   in-service. They are clearly co-orbiting in the same plane.
