Oh no - not again. I can see a Rulebook change coming on.
I'll bet the ES is a worried man ! There is often an element of miscommunication in situations like this. Trains move around inside a possession without any involvement from the signaller and without the safety of signals. The person in charge (Engineering Supervisor) needs to know where all rail vehicles are, and is in control of movements. If he gets it wrong, or is given incorrect information trains could come together. No one was hurt, which is the main thing. BW Last edited by Beeyar Wunby; 2nd August 2015 at 20:28.
