Nailed it - Well done.

Thanks - Try this one - Clues on request

Interesting... Grab a tea, and then jump on the 168 Bus (Hattons Travel), leaving 08:36 and get off at Speke Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Stop 3) at 09:10 Monday. (Thanks Xenophon)

Not much of lie in I admit, but places to be people... Lets take the 05:03 Trans Pennine Express e towards Manchester and alight at Selby at 05:39 on Monday. You should be able to see the spires of the abbey if the weather is reasonable. (Edited to correct train operator)

York

Stay at that stop, and jump on the following TM Travel 218 departing 15:14 and arriving, traffic dependant, at Sheffield Interchange/D3 (D3) at 15:38

Minty - You need to talk to your mentor if you are struggling for a reasoned response. There will be a marking criteria and key considerations to take into account. Whilst there are a few very competent signalling engineers on this forum, the rest of us, well........ As XCTurbostar mentions...

Also of interest (I think) is the consistent use of the LCU (average 10 per month) at this crossing. What was the use of the LCU mitigating? Either the system had repeated failures that were either not reported, or resolved, or there were specific movements that the signalling was not designed...

'Prime target' - Nods head, nice one.

Is there any detail on the new York Independent line? Brief look on the internet didnt turn anything up.
