    A career as a signaller

    I would the answer will be down to what local agreements you have in place over and above any National agreements and how good your local & area reps are with how flexible your local management are. At my location of roughly of 90 signallers between a 1/4 & 1/3 work permanent days, 1/4 & 1/3...

    Signal berth codes?

    At a guess the WON (weekly operating notice) item number. After seeing the news it might be a WON supplement item number instead.

    Signal areas controlled by NX panels

    Not so, the original panel has been extended in length and modified quite a few times since it was installed.

    Signal areas controlled by NX panels

    If my dates are correct, that’s when panel 7 extended its control down the Arun Valley line to fringe with Arundel Signalbox. Although in recent history panel 5 has had it’s FDM equipment replaced between Keymer Junction and Preston Park and new Bi-directional signalling between Copyhold...

    Not to be too picky but it’s Hampden Park signalbox CDB not Willingdon Junction signalbox as Willingdon Junction signalbox closed several decades earlier with it area of control taken over by Hampden Park.

    GTR do not travel 04/02/2026

    Remember that trap points are controlled and trap facing movements and catch points are often unworked an catch vehicles running away in the wrong direction so are more likely to be found on gradients. 1770499428 S50 are points controlled by Selhurst Depot Panel.

    GTR do not travel 04/02/2026

    The Sub Signal on T10 signal only applies for moves towards the limit of shunt on the Down London Bridge fast line and not for any permissive moves. 1770487945 The train derailed off T1521 trap points and of note there are no catch points in the TBASC area of control and maybe not on the whole...

    Signal berth codes?

    Or a wrong side failure that’s leads to a set points self normalising or being put to normal under a train. So it will act as a local reminder to the signaller to peg the points reverse until the train movement is conformed clear of the points.

    A career as a signaller

    And the same goes for TBASC next door with many staff travelling from points from Hastings, Bognor Regis along the coast as well as North Kent and beyond although many of them got jobs before NR got stricter on travel distance.

    I’m guessing space and money were the main limiting factors to a total track, signalling and building rebuild.

    PoSA or APLS??

    Gatwick does not have POSA signals, although they were looking at installing them not long after platform 7 was commissioned. As a signaller I represented my colleagues views on the scheme, but over time the meetings dried up and the scheme has sunk without a trace since.
