Platform Starting Signal

[StormingNorman]

Hello all!

Can someone settle a discussion for me?

Can someone give me the definition of what is deemed to be a platform starting signal and where in the rule book I can find this definition?

Apologies if this is posted in wrong section and thanks in advance!

If the AWS for the Associated signal is in the platform.
If a train stopped at the signal is still accommodating the platform.

*I forget where I got that from. Its not a rule as far as I'm aware so most likely from group standards.

*found it

Platform starting signal
A signal is defined as a platform starting signal if either:
a) the longest passenger (or empty coaching stock) train authorised to use the platform would, if stopped at the signal, still have a portion of the passenger accommodation alongside the platform, or
b)the leading end of the train passes over the automatic warning system (AWS) equipment associated with the signal before it is dispatched from the station
