I will need a backpack when I move for my rule books:lol:, as the new super duper “roc” ( well over 10 yr old) am going to won’t have enough lockers !!!

Hi, just depends on what your LLC as drawn up . Mines for example is ... am off for 8 this week then I start on Sunday night for 3 then off till Sunday where I’ll do 4 day shifts then off for 7 then start back for 4 nights . The worst part if you can call it that is when I do 3 days thurs fri...

Same in our signalling centre . Why run the risk of a collision for the sake of a 2 minute delay .

In my box the signals are put to danger and if the user does not report back then it’s a caution for drivers till the first one reports the crossing is safe . Even if the user had said it will take 5 minutes and 10 have elapsed. It’s simple really , do you give a train a couple of minutes delay...

Any crossing I have control over where the user request to use is protected by signals wether the rule book or box instructions say or not . It’s common sense and good practise . And those signals don’t get cleared until that user reports back in he/she is safely across .

The problem with these wonderful “ROCs” is that some clown who has never signalled a train in his/her life decides to triple the signallers workload . The usual line trotted out is that “you’ve got SARS or ARS” . Let me tell you having these systems is like having a trainee on with you ...

Yup it’s nowhere near the hospital but I don’t think yer man meant that one lol .

MC426 to be precise . And as you said earlier that’s where the old part of the hospital used to . They kept the right bad ones in there .

You would be splitting hairs between the distance from the 73 mile post neutral section to the station/State hospital .

The neural section at the 79 mile is at Auchengray , nowhere near Carstairs . Your man is talking about the 73 mile one .

Trust me it’s nowhere near 6 miles from carstairs .

Quite a few neutral section around carstairs . All needed to separate OHL sections LA 1&2 GC 1&2 and LC 3&4 .

Don’t think we’ll need to worry about the speed as I can’t see it ever opening again and I’ve never seen it on any new signalling diagrams . Quite amazing how far you can following the old Dolphinton line on google maps after all these years:smile:

Am sure an old signaller told me it was built for the Queen ..

Actually it’s a Psychiatric hospital a lot of people in there who ain’t criminals.

Don’t worry the fence is to protect the patients from the locals 8-)

Not sure what the speed would be,long long before my time . I believe it was called the Dolphinton line . The east Junction is still sometimes referred to as Dolphinton Junction.
