I never really appreciated their inclusion or importance I have now performed about ten tests, however on my latest test of the Carlisle platform (only) area for arrivals, what a difference it has made I sat many years ago in my car next to signal CE336 / CE335 and wondered why they sat at red for so long, knowing the next train was already approaching before clearng DELETED Last edited: 29/12/2020 at 17:04 by mjkerr Reason: None given Log in to reply |

From what I understand, and if I remember correctly, these are used when you need to set a route (usually, I think, into a platform) but the overlap is not available, in which case the previous signal is approach controlled (i.e. as you noticed ["why they sat at red for so long"], it will be held at danger until the relevant track circuit has been occupied for a sufficient amount of time). Full detail is provided on the wiki page here (under "From signal to yellow exit triangle (Warner)" ) Last edited: 29/12/2020 at 18:03 by AlexRail575 Reason: None given Log in to reply |

In the case of Carlisle there are some specific rules associated with warner routes and the sim will show a message (and subtract points) if you use them inappropriately. Have a look at the Panel B section on the Wiki.
