Finally some movement on the new stop at Magna. https://www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/news/public-consultation-launches-for-new-tram-train-stop-and-park-ride

Control of the tram chord will remain under Woodburn Control. We at York (Rotherham Workstation) will keep the fringe exactly where it is at present. The only new track and points Rotherham Panel gets are as can be seen on the picture at Parkgate. It's going to be fun and games when we start Signalling the tram trains and one fails on the Mainline with a heavy rail train behind it that isn't compatible to assist. Also a cheap job as we won't be able to use the Parkgate siding to turn heavy rail trains back in times of disruption...... Oh well.

Lots going on today in the Signal Box on Rotherham Workstation. The axel counters are been tested. The display screens have been updated to show the new lines and platforms as well as new signals. The picture is of our simulator at York ROC but the actual workstation looks the same too.
