Working a main station on LNW I can tell you that the drivers are not contactable on clear signals and its normally station staff giving a heads up as 'the driver is on to control' is the first sign of trouble. And yes reported numerous times to control. Should always be signaller first...
I think I may have fluffed it, when it went active the link didn't work and I copied the link in the text into the address bar as the link didn't work. I managed to input all the relevant details and when it got to the actual test it seemed corrupted, ie the question about the light circuit...
