Yes - an example is approaching Cheadle Hulme North junction from Stockport. The double flashing yellow is Edgeley Junction No. 1's last signal and the flashing single yellow is Manchester South's first signal.
I enquired at Stratford MTR ticket office last Saturday and was told it can only be performed by Supervisors, was told to return Monday - Friday 10:00 to 16:00.
