Whilst maintaining signal T47 at danger on the down platform at Truro (Plat 2) an 8/HST rang 'waiting at signal'. Cleared T47 and it moved at 2mph for 2 seconds (just under 2 metres) before starting the station dwell. Can this be adjusted?

Truro is extremely tight for stopping positions, to allow the train to clear the crossing the 2+8 HST car stop marker is right up against T47. Given defensive driving policies etc, I wouldn't be surprised to find a driver not performing station duties unless T47 is off.

The 10 car stop board (Which I presume to apply to IETs) is beyond T47 to give you an idea of how tight it is.

That 10-car stop board in the photo is an old loco and coaches board. IET stop boards are purple with black and yellow hatched surrounds. The 9/10 IET stop board on Truro platform 2 is to the left of picture, on the end of the platform.
