I think you are correct. Would have to ask the Thetford w/s signaller to clarify it, but we have a similar situation at Westerfield (difference being a cctv crossing). We have a "non stop" function we can click on to get an early call for the barriers to go down so that intermodals don't get checked down on approach to westerfield in the up direction. When the Felixstowe passenger approaches it it doesn't activate the barriers until it stops in the station. Its all controlled automatically via the headcodes but we can override it. Take care -
Apologies, it does! My SSM thought it didn't and I wasn't sure. We havent used it over here at Colchester yet (might explain why i can't find a NR3190 anywhere) and TBW hasn't been put in for around 7 years. Its like a cross between TBW, single line working and pilot working, with less staff on the ground. Thanks

Yes they aren't the easiest front end to clean. We have an ex BTP and a Special Constable working in the box here now and both have said that if and when these incidents happen, they may get classed as 'complicated situations' due to the shape of the nose of the train and most BTP officers don't have the necessary training yet. I foresee clean up times becoming longer than 90mins. Thanks

Morning all. We have today a little gem consisting of possibly the last remaining DVT - 82107 - leaving the mid norfolk, now, heading for Leicester as 5Q59 via Crown point and the GE, due through 13:42, ips 14:06 and colchester @ 14:25 this afternoon. 37611 is at the helm. Pictures if I can. Also hoping to do a run round in Trowse Lopp if he doesnt require crown point. Thanks

Yep pretty much. On board Fitter bodged it enough to get it to Shenfield, de-trained and non stop back to norwich. I put 1Z99 into Manningtree Refuge siding just before my break. Poor has to triple shunt to get into that siding as theres no interlocking from the up main @CO268 to the siding. madness. Thanks
