As a battle-hardened veteran of many nights in Waverley SC, it's great to see this. Like the ground frames! Thanks to all for their efforts. Few observations: Kaimes - Protecting signal is EJ698, not ES698 Curriehill - has two crossovers 1R10 - I inadvertently signalled this up to E 483, from where it can't get to its booked platform(19). Should the driver have challenged it? GFs - Just as an FYI, some are actually Ground Switch Panels (Stenton, Reston (Crossovers), Linlithgow and Curriehill Log in to reply |

Should the driver have challenged it?E483 is the starting signal for Platform 17 so quite how you signalled it upto there I don't know :: (I don't mean that to sound rude, btw) I note from the list of trains there are three 1R10s, a 1R10-1, 1R10-2 and 1R10-3 so I am assuming that you are talking about 1R10-3 which is indeed booked into Platform 19. I can easily imagine that if you signal a train into a different platform then the driver will not challenge it as they will assume you maybe have a points/signal/track-circuit failure or some other reason why they cannot use the booked platform therefore they may not challenge it.

Platform alterations occur regularly, it's not the driver's job to complain - he'll accept any platform. You do have to watch for the passengers though, we don't like Platform alterations! Log in to reply |
