In the manual for Plymouth, the following is written for Royal Albert Bridge: "At Royal Albert Bridge single line approach signal P64 to P66 will call the Warner route if point 268 is normal" Can someone explain what the Warner route is? I can't see any difference no matter how I set my route approaching and over the bridge. Merry Christmas! Log in to reply |

Also, I do know what the Warner route is (having no overlap) but still can't see the difference in this sim, unless I'm missing something obvious.

To be more precise, warner routes are used when there is reduced overlap.

It looks like no overlap in this case because there is no separate track circuit between the signal and the end of the reduced overlap. There are a few other places on other sims where such a track circuit does exist.

Just to add that if a route with reduced overlap is set, the protecting signal acts as "approach controlled" and is delayed in clearing to a proceed aspect so as the train is virtually at a stand before it clears. Interestingly, I'd never heard of the phrase "Warner Route" until I joined this group. I was well aware of reduced and swinging overlaps but "Warner" was a new one on me....

You can still have an overlap even without having a separate track circuit for it (and while not applicable specifically in the above situation, indeed that's the standard arrangement for automatic signals).

If authorised, a train can be accepted under the warning arrangement (old reg 5 acceptance) when the block section is clear but the clearing point is fouled. The train would be brought to a stand at the preceeding section signal before it was cleared and a flag displayed to confirm this all to the driver. Some locations had a "warning" signal which looks identical to a calling on arm to convey this message. "We don't stop camborne wednesdays" Log in to reply The following user said thank you: VInce |
