Only room/plan for the two workstations in Llanelli and Carmarthen at Port Talbot. Looking at a separate new facility for further west when Whitland and Clarbeston Road goes.

The new M-ROC 2nd floor desk fit out has provision for 5 desks for current Crewe control areas, 3 for current Preston control areas, 3 for current Warrington control areas, 3 for current Carlisle control areas +2 CCTV LX desks.

Also Siemens. DRS is the (non regulating) cost effective simple junction route setting engine deployed on simpler areas. It is paired with DCR on more complex areas that deconflicts the timetable 'further out', doing the timetable based regulating and passing the latest deconflicted timetable to...

ARS/TM (DRS/DCR) to be added in 2024 onto the six workstations that were re-controlled under Victoria Phase 2B (2016) / 2B (2018) and Victoria Phase 3 (2023) resignalling projects.

The bit you're describing is the DCR (Digital Conflict Resolution) sub-system. Looking ahead in time and enabling the planner to sandbox (offline) a number of potential timetable/routing scenarios to understand potential best mitigation and then enact the re-plan required in good time for the...

Not so… SARS (Signaller's Assistant Route Setting) is a sub-component of HITACHI's TREsa product interfacing to third party control systems and acts as a full regulation engine like the original IECC (Integrated Electronic Control Centre) ARS (upon which it was originally modelled), but with...

Not exactly squeezing in... The new Mid Cornwall workstation, + the next stage's West Cornwall workstation will be situated behind the curvature of one end of the current panels, with provision for a further two at the other end. This scheme is also replacing the Totnes - Tavistock Jnc. (excl)...

I've seen the H-STS WSP HS+ system demo'd in Genoa in early 2020, and the architecture has moved on massively since the Manchester South deployment in early 2000s. If anything the complexity of the system, used in both Mainline and Metro applications in eight countries across five continents...

Would that be a Douglas Pierce(ing)? #DI6

The remodelling has been postponed from Easter next year (not to next year!), to Easter 2022 earliest - commisioning window pending.

The guy is a kin' Genius! All hail the pond!

I assume that I received the same Monthly NR National Schemes Notifications as Mr Deaves, and it does indeed state commissioning as 28/02/2021. My employer is contracted as the ARS supplied on the scheme, but the project has not yet started, the lead time will challenge that forecast...

TBROC Lewisham workstation has had workload issues since the additional Angerstein IXL was added, and the proposal is now to split the Lewisham workstation into two, at the Parks Bridge A and Angerstein IXL boundary moving forward.
