If you need to access the single line for shunting purposes you need to get a token out (5-2 / 2-5). One limited exception is if you have a failed train in the section, and an assurance it won't be moved, you can shunt at either end until the failed train is fit to move, or you're permitting the assistance into the section.

The concept of 'shunt following' seems to have survived in the RETB regs allowing a shunt token (up to the station limit sign) once a train with the section token has confirmed that it is beyond the sign : https://catalogues.rssb.co.uk/rgs/standards/GKGN0554%20Iss%202.pdf G.5.3.6 As a pre-RETB example from 1984 (IIRC) consider doing a loco swap between crossing trains at Brora. It involves leaving passenger stock on the single line (blocking a LC) and both loco's moving on the single line. I don't recall which if any had the token or if any signals were operated. One of those 'fine when everyone knows what they are doing' operations. Log in to reply |

When I first read about RETB the description had five possible tokens for each section: A to B, B to A, shunt at A, shunt at B, and test/possession. The following three pairs could be issued at the same time: A to B and shunt at A B to A and shunt at B shunt at A and shunt at B Log in to reply |
