Could one of you inform me/send photos to me about the following:

The Canal Junction diagram (on the ELL) during the 2000s or whatever subsequent signalling system was implemented (under LU not overground.)

What the different reverser settings on the S8 does (as Tripcock, forwards, restricted manual all seem to be the same thing.)

“Shutdown: the cab is not active Protected Manual: train can be manually operated in forward direction to the target point in the CBTC area
Auto: train can be automatically operated in forward direction to the target point in the CBTC area
Tripcock: train can be manually operated in forward direction to line speed in the tripcock area
Restricted Manual:
Forward – train can be manually operated in forward direction at maximum speed of 10mph
Inter – motors are inhibited in this position. if the train key is in ON position, brakes can be released to carry out a brake test. If the train key is in ‘Train Secure' position, brakes can't be released. The train secure position is used to afford protection to staff going on track
Reverse: the train can be manually operated in reverse direction at maximum speed of 10mph. It must only be used when authorised”

Reverse: that looks lovely well thanks a lot very much the train can be manually operated in reverse direction at maximum speed of 10mph. It must only be used when authorised”
So forward is an option to enable restricted manual?

I assume the FM option/label/whatever next to the speedometer enables on tripcock while RM is restricted manual?
