Hi, I note there are are a number of ECS workings (e.g. 5T64) which are timed to stop at Castleford P2 and occupy that platform during the time that reversals on P1 are planned. However this requires the block in advance of CD668 to be occupied and this would in turn lock the relevant track sections for the passenger move. Was this area resignalled after the date of the WY sim to resite the signal or to add a shunt block? And does anyone have information about what work was done and when?

I don't believe any signaling changes have taken place at Castleford, although I'd happily stand corrected if some have happened. Nothing looks to be booked to use platform 2 yet in passenger service, so I suspect the reality is the train is held back at CD668 until closer to booked departure time.

Trains timed to stop at Castleford like the example you gave normally sit north of the station rather than in it at CD668. I assume there's no suitable TIPLOC for that signal for planning purposes.

Thanks both! I'll use regulating stop in my TT, as you say there's no TIPLOC for CD668.

This video seems to also show a new starter signal at the end of platform 2. Last edited: 01/10/2023 at 22:30 by Dionysusnu Reason: None given Log in to reply |
