Horbury Junction

Does anyone know why "NOGO" is currently posted in the train describer at HJ74 signal on the Up Slow line? It has been like that for a few weeks, and Up trains are currently using the Up Fast instead.

An issue with the points at the Horbury end of the Up Slow means all traffic on the Fast until rectified, with NOGO in the berth of HJ74 as an extra reminder to the signallers at Wakefield.

Thanks for that.

The [3187] on the Goods Loop the other side of Wakefield Kirkgate serves a similar purpose (line not available)

Indeed yes

3187 is a specific case - the code coming from the RT3187 form which is used when signalling equipment is disconnected/signed out of use. In this case the points into and out of the loop are signed out of use therefore the whole loop is under 3187.

Whereas NOGO/BLOK etc are used as signaller helpers/reminders rather than specific codes

Could have done with that bit of track just now to overtake the Hallam stopper. As it is, it looks as though we're going to be stuck behind it all the way to Sheffield.

You’ll be pleased to hear both lines are back in use as of this morning, with the points replaced overnight.

Cause for celebration
