[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by virgintrainsdriver Im a driver here in the U.k.Over here signals are solely used to keep a safe space between train's.It seem's too complicated to have different colour combination's relating to junction speed."Route knowledge" over here dictates what speed the junction is.When i started with this company i got 21 week's to learn all the track including diversion route's between Manchester and London.Signal's,speed's,junction speed's,staton's and so on.Keep the signal's simple and give the crew's learning time for the junction speed's.Yes, at some juntion's over here we do have yellow over yellow flashing,but that only proves that the route is set to diverge away.You still have to know the speed of the cross over.All the best from the U.K [/quote] Seems that it's easier to me just to memorize the CTC light combinations and then be governed by signal indication, I know there are speed limits on all the different cross-overs, but the signal indication always tells you how fast you can go over them, no memorizing required, even though you memorize them after a while anyway...... I know I would have a hell of a time remembering all the different speed limits as a new hire, but I suppose 21 weeks would be sufficient time to do so.
