If you're a signaller, you'll only get paid if your overtime shift was published on the roster. The company can choose whether to keep you spare and pay you the rest day worked, or book you off and pay you the hours flat rate.

I think you're confused. This is the case with sequential semaphore stop signals at a signal box, to prevent a driver receiving an AWS bell followed by a signal at danger. The incident occurred on a Track Circuit Block line with colour light signals.

Although not directly relevant here, you should note that there is more to your entitlements (and responsibilities) than your employment contract. Get hold of a copy of the NRP (National Rostering Principles) and PTR&R (Promotion, Transfer, Redundancy and Redeployment) to start with if you're...

The 'protection systems' listed on the openrailwaymap legend are mostly irrelevant to Britain. ETCS exists on a couple of lines, but that's it. If you want to be consistent and categorise lines according to 'protection system', then every mainline passenger line in the UK not fitted with ETCS...

I had an email from Eurostar yesterday saying that my e-voucher expires on 30th December and that travel can be booked 11 months in advance. This means that the voucher could be used for travel up to 25th November 2022.

Any references to 'one each way' or similar are based on unofficial practice and do not reflect how trespass incidents should always be dealt with. According to the rule book, 'You must continue to tell each driver to proceed at caution until you [the signaller, not control] are sure the line is...

I'd have thought that Colton has that honour. It's 125 both ways.

They still are, if they have been shown how.

No, but the signaller would be able to find out quickly by looking in the area of similarly numbered signals. They can also ask the person which line the signal is on and for its geographical location.

When booked off on a bank holiday, you are entitled to neither LROP or HROP. (LROP would get you a lieu day, whereas you're getting the bank holiday itself off.) You'll simply be paid your base salary as normal.

As I understand it, it's a breach of Hidden which would require you to agree to it and management to sign off. I'd refuse if I were you.

That's lead responsibility for comms, a different thing. Signallers are in charge of the safe running of trains, ECRO are in charge of the traction supply.

Signallers are line managed by LOMs, not MOMs, although in some areas MOMs have supervisory responsibilities. Signallers are in charge of the safe running of trains, not LOMs or MOMs. If a signaller's LOM (or the local MOM) was to instruct the signaller to do something contrary to the rules or...

Mobile Operations Managers (MOMs) hold COSS (controller of site safety) competence. As such, they are required to be familiar with the area they are working in. They will have line diagrams that show signals and signal box area boundaries.

The rear loco will be dead. Putting that loco's tail lights on would run down its batteries.

I'm listening to this now. I had assumed that Trump really knew he lost but was just blustering in order to sabotage Biden's presidency and help his own chances in 2024. Instead, it's clear that he's insane.

No. The train could still have become divided. It occasionally happens even with continuously braked stock.

If the last vehicle hasn't passed the box, but has passed the clearing point, and the signaller wants to 'knock out', the signaller can use another means to ensure the train is complete with tail lamp:

I've only known it authorised in the box instructions where the section is track circuited throughout. (For anyone wondering why AB regulations would apply where the section is track circuited throughout, it's usually where there are points in the clearing point of the box in advance, so AB is...

To be honest I'd expect to get just the one RDW, and would only agree to the night if it was more convenient or i wasn't bothered. Getting booked off my rostered day shift for a night would be a different matter. It's probably in the NRP somewhere.
