Should Sheffield ROC's manual be located in the Eastern and anglia section rather than Midland? It's part Of LNE and has been since before privatisation? As a separate question, the manual refers to Rotherham workstation and also Rotherham 1 and 2. Is there any reason for the split of Rotherham as the manual doesn't clarify this?

We were thinking about splitting the Rotherham w/s during testing as it is a very awkwardly shaped workstation. One person can still operate it, but if there are more people available it can be split in a sensible manner. A tweak to the manual is probably wise. Kev Log in to reply |

While your at it this new Sheffield ROC manual under the heading chaining says that the West Yorkshire sim is not yet available. This could lead to a misunderstanding. I.e. it’s not available or it is available but does not chain to West Yorkshire G Log in to reply |

Vaguely related to the Rotherham 1/2 panel question; but is the indicated Sheffield panel controlled by just one signaller (which seems a massive area to control considering it contains the station itself) or does the ROC technology allow it to be divided as required?

The only ones I am aware of where the work station is duplicated are Leeds East, Manchester East and Manchester South. For Leeds there is the Main work station and what is referred to as the Assist work station. During the day the workload is split in a similar way to the East 1 and East 2 work stations in the simulation. At Manchester East one Signaller usually controls the trains and the other deals with phone work with a third on a break - they rotate round every hour. Next door in Manchester South only one signaller tends to signal at any one time with the other either on a break or assisting with any degraded working, line blocks etc. Log in to reply The following user said thank you: Splodge |

Ah yes, forgot about ARS (I generally play without it on SimSig) and the assistance that will give.
