These crossings are operated by the signaller at Beckington I believe so inaffect acting as a crossing keeper for Doncaster. Putting a reminder on these signals wouldnt do anything for this reason. Attached a photo of the real panel. Post has attachments. Log in to view them. RIP Feltham Panel 1 Log in to reply |

Looking at that photo, D760 is an auto, so collaring it won't do anything. (Collars work on route setting, not aspect controls.) The "oi!" phone calls only apply to AHB, ABCL, AOCL, MCL, and TEL crossings, not MCBs (whether CCTV or not). So there's something odd going on with those crossings. Log in to reply |

Investigating further I discovered the following faults.How long has this been a Simsig feature? I didn't realise you could collar 3rd party controlled/slotted signals to prevent them clearing. is this some sort of compromise vs real life where it doesn't work that way?

My friend, none of those are controlled signals. Your only options to protect those crossings are controlled signals at Bessacarr Jn (up line) and the emergency replacement button on D757 near Broomston (down line). The signals you refer to are all automatic, whether they have the permissive plate displayed or otherwise. I will leave it up to a railwayman of your experience to know what happens when you put a block on an automatic signal. Piping hot regards, Flabberdacks Log in to reply |

In reality, I suspect the signaller on Doncaster Panel would be able to instruct the crossing keeper to maintain their signals at Danger to protect the UWCs for you.

Code 2 is probably an AWS fault - horn instead of a bell

The other label looks like phone scripting for temporary block working in both directions/3.5 working?

It has been for the last few years and it is listed in the Network Rail's Autumn arrangements information that we get sent every year. The reason was because the line was lightly used and to certain extent it is compared to other lines in the area despite most intermodal traffic now been taken off the ECML. The line suffered with a lot of wrong side failures even the RHTT vanished at one point on that section of line to mitigate against 3.5 was implemented every leaf fall season. The same was done between Gilberdyke and Selby trains had to clear Howden before another could be sent towards Selby. Also Castleford to Milford Jn was another area where this occurred. Was never a problem tho when the Vegetation used to be maintained regularly. Zero Delta Zero Seven Log in to reply |
