I suggest rather than quoting out of context from my post and spouting conjecture going round in circles you actually open your eyes and read the posts We have already established the facts and if you bother to watch the full video you will; see that there was no jumping of red lights, just...

You might want to check that statement with the ORR. After all when it all goes Pete Tong they are the ones that will be chewing your arse off or your line managers As I posted earlier there is a pretty clear statement from the ORR that the LC closing sequence should be monitored at locations...

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/road-works-level-crossings-and-tramways-288-to-307 I do remember when AHB were introduced in the 60s they put a yellow box on the crossing BUT not under where the barriers fall But really shouldn't matter HOWEVER If someone stops across a...

Ok the full video is as Tom said on the echo site. She was sat there for good 10 secs B4 the seq started Pretty obvious that the location is totally unsuitable for any unsupervised lowering of the barriers Whether some like it or not lowering barriers onto stationary members of the public...

OK glad to hear it looked like the barrier got bent so assumed it would have been inspected by NWR lads first but either way , something to avoid. We get the inevitable barriers being broken off as Tom will vouch for in Oakham but it is always error on the part of the LGV drivers Cant...

No not saying that the signaller or operator needs shooting but there are some learning points as the railway doesn't exactly come out smelling of roses regardless Just caused big delays while the jobs stopped to repair the LC barrier There is obviously a change to the use of the LC which you...

luckily meaning had it been an AHB the outcome would have been different so get off your high horse I am well aware of the interlocks but most of joe public are not LCs and their operation are under intense scrutiny by the RAIB currently unless you have been sleeping and NWR are being held...

S far as I am aware, lowering the barriers has to be confirmed by a mk1 eyball on full barrier for the reasons that can bee seen Not so on an AHB lc where the train would be there after 25 seconds but these should never be located where standing traffic could end up stuck when the sequence...

While she should not have entered the LC without a clear exit, the operator does seem to have lowered the barriers without checking despite the car being stopped across the path . This will have only led to even more delays. Quite why she didn't just reverse and go round once the other car had...

And if a triangle junction was made at Manton junction which was never there originally for some reason, If the old formation from East of Stamford was put back to the ECML via Belmesthorpe which would only involve a house and some bridge work on the formation save for reinstatement of track...

Lol,. I thought you might say "I can tell you but would have to kill you after" Came up last April when I did my exam as expected

Rutland Railway museum often had a local radio club set up a mobile station set up in one of the guard vans in the early days on special events. There is of course specific ban relating to within 100 KM of Charring X for 431.0-432.0 Mhz M6 holder

I caught the tour climbing Manton bank at Eggleton LC near Oakham Rutland Lovely day tvyI81qMRNo

Yes the Corby line takes scheduled trains and planned diversions. It also takes emergency diversions such as occurred with last weeks signal cable damage below Leicester In that case none of the EMT diverted trains showed correctly on RTT as according to RTT they dont go in the systems the same...
