I used to work as a sound engineer so saw hundreds over the years. Honourable mention:- Presets VNV nation Gary Numan Radiohead at their landmark South Park Concert Depeche Mode David Bowie MGMT (before they hit it big) Alphabeat (before they hit it big) Tori Amos Robert Plant Rolf...

Without looking at the photo in question I assume you are referring to the Coacting signals in the down direction. They repeat the main head but are situated at ground level because the view of the main head is partially obscured by the footbridge. Hope this helps. If I recall correctly the...

Correct. And I er.... left a signal out sorry :oops:

I really didn't think this through did I? please accept in Leiu of a photo a hastily knocked up track diagram of a UK station.

my first ever post on this thread. I was about to post about Keswick on another forum and saw this! No idea sorry.

Keswick

All joking aside, I assume the original question assumed that maintanance had been handled properly and that the situation that led to Hatfield had not been allowed to develop and the aftermath that followed thus never materialised. The truth is that I can't think of how else it would have...

York PSB (1951) clocked in at around 4 miles but was at that time the largest route relay interlocking around. I know that Reading PSB when openened stretched from Didcot to near Slough and included around 50 miles of the B&H line also I believe Motherwell at one time held the honour of being...

many thanks.

Hi there. I witnessed a Class 67 with about 6 Anglia Mk2s pass southbound through Bradford-On-Avon today at around 13:15. There didn't appear to be any passengers on board from what I could see. Does anyone know what is was doing? cheers

'Didn't we have a lovely day, the day we went to Torworth'..... No is the short answer. Some time in around 1992/93 back in the days when your memory was like watching a cinefilm. Grimsby to Kings Cross was the plan. I was always excited at the prospect of travelling on a decent line and...

the barrow crossing wasn't enough?

It is to ensure continutuity of the track circuit through the joint

I watched it pass in full cry with train in Bradford-On-avon at around 12:40

In the case of the photo above the new signals are the ones bagged up. The gantries holding the old signals where felled to make way for the catenery. Also in most cases the new signals where planted behind the old so would have been obscured. I actually don't know if the line on the left was...

I'm not sure of the exact details but York was kept partially open while resignalling in the station was going on as this photo proves http://www.flickr.com/photos/pinzac55/3778999406/ During the 3 day commisioning the area was worked by handsignalling but I dare say that parts where probably...

Doncaster also has reverse curves and suffers from short signal spacing. The two down fast signals are around 400m apart at Doncaster. A train doing 100mph would cover that in around 8-9 seconds. The next signal isn't that far away either

The station in my hometown which was once a busy and important station is now unstaffed after a certain time in the evening resulting in the closure of the ticket office when the staff go home. The powers that be installed a waiting room to shelter folk from the cold. This lasted a few weeks...

Just a note of caution, are these samples copyrighted?

It was resignalled in the last couple of years, but then as now it's always been possible to do this move. There was a fixed red with a subsidiary at the south end of P1 that allowed moves in on a single yellow.
