Hi Dave The signalling has survived the severe floods A few track circuits showwing occupied cause by the flood water at Axminster east and Gillingham when the water was at its peak. and a few sets of points/motors will need a good going over by the S+T but that is all Unfortunatly the...

You must be a signaller at sheffield??? if not then please tell me how you know they do a naff job. I trust you are aware of the pressure that they are under, and the amount of movements that they have to handle there. signallers DO NOT delay trains for the sake of it. As mentioned the north end...

The work is as mentioned an interlocking renewal. The interface between all the equipment (signals/points/track circuits) and the panels in eastleigh ASC has be renewed with SSI (solid state interlocking) technology It involved the compleate renewal of Totton, Southampton and Mount pleasant...

these are ECS moves of FCC 319 units between Hornsey and Cricklewood depots. they are opperated by GBRF drivers as it is easyer to teach GBRF drivers the traction and keep there traction knowledge up to date, than it would be to teach FCC drivers the route and keep the knowledge up to date...

Hi guys I see you are both waiting to hear back from the new cross vacancies. I know there were 2 vacancies. I was advised to go for one by my line manager myself, however decided no to as it was not in the right area for me, and had other options in the pipeline. I am already a...

there is a daily WTT path for the trains (both the dungeness and the sizewell). as mentioned they do not use all these paths as only run as required, but the path is in for every week day should it be needed

Hi I cannot recall how long the assesment lasts for, off the top of my head 2 or 5 years is ringing a bell, may be mentioned on the NR website, failing that, mention it to your network rail contact that tells you you will need to do the assesment that you have already passed one on date XYZ...

The rule book does not word this brilliantly i know. A----------p----*------B \ * \ C For example, you have a facing junction as above. your clearing point extends over the points (*...

313103, almost correct there mate, the resignalled NLL is passing control into upminster IECC (No space in liverpool street for the 3 work stations needed). upminster will have 3 NLL work stations: Eastern - Stratford/Temple mills west - Westbourne road jn (new jn near calidonian rd)...

No, Acton wells will remain, and fringe with upminster at the same place roughly as it currently fringes with high level. Richmond will also remain. There is talk that bollo lane and kew east may be added onto a WETCAD system at acton wells in the future as bollo lane is nearly life expired...

Hi Guys. Im a signaller on the north london line, and have witnessed many of the changes since the 14 week blockade that started 20th feb 2010. the weekend possesions we have had all year are all to facilitate the groundwork for the resignalling between willesden and stratford, as well as...

I know they still have space issues down at southampton at the weekends. They certainly keep a rake or 2 in eastleigh yard, and there are 3 paths in trust for mondays only marchwood - Southampton, and 3 on a saturday from southampton MCT - Marchwood, I dont know if these paths are used though, I...

Well I would imagine then that it either took the latchmere curve up towards mitre bridge ln then onto the NLL via stratford to ilford. Or more likely went down the ludgate lines, under clapham station and off down through kent to ashford chart leacon. This is the more likely of the options...

Hi all Petersfield indeed as quoted is a grade 3, Havant is a 6, and eastleigh a 7. You will probably never see a vac for eastleigh on the external vacancys, its dead mans shoes, and when a vacancy comes up its very hard to get in (I know as I tried a few months ago internally, there were...

John, what school are you going to? I did my training at watford a short while ago (sept 09) here is a rough outline of the structure of course (if it is still the same) 1 week on location (lom should give you a work book, you WILL need it so make sure you have it...filled out too, they can...

Love your location vitesse!!! that would be may fault, well 1 out of four times it will be anyway lol:)

Correct, however under normal circumstances on a TCB line the way that a you are assured it is a failure is by asking the 1st train on the affected line to carry out the examination, or if the 1st train is on an adjacent line by advising the driver to proceed at caution and report as soon as...

Yes very true, infact the rules govening trains passing over failed track circuits does not acctually require the train to be seen complete with tail lamp (T1B section 13 IIRC) and thus also relys on any devision of the train to be notified by the loss of brake continuity triggering a brake...
