Yes, phones at every stop signal. Wouldn't have said the phone signal was that bad round here.

The courses you sit on the scheme, SEM 1 & 2, points, SMTH, are all S&T specific and would not transfer over to telecoms other than a bit of diagram reading and fault finding skills. You could only make the move to telecoms after completing the scheme, I believe it can only be done during for...

What you have almost listed is the heirarchy of controls, these are split into two groups, working with protection, and working with warning. I can't give too much information on working with warning (red zone) as we don't use it in Scotland. Working With Protection 1. Safeguarded - All...

Inverness panel is not connected to the live data feeds being a 1980s install. The HML and Aberdeen line are because of their recent resignalling to the Highland Workstation.

Some tasks may be; Signalling power feeder faults Backup generator testing and maintenance Points heating faults & maintenance Unmanned building electrical inspections General electrical equipment inspection It may vary on your area but that's what our local D&P do.

What I understand from what I have read in other places online is that Bachmann will not provide stock to another manufacturer, which Hattons has now become due to their own Class 66. As such they will now only be selling current stock and pre-owned.

The crate itself looks to be undamaged, its just the mounting brackets/bar that have been damaged. If the crate took damage and was not working it would revert the signal and show out on the panel. Unless it gets reported beforehand, S&T will be along for maintanence within three months unless...

I travelled on the Northbound Lowlander last night in the seats. I went in with the mindset that it was all going to be poor after what I had read on here, however I am pleased to say that I was pleasantly surprised by it. Upon entry there are huge racks for luggage, better than the two small...

Whether Scotrail permit their use I'm not sure, I'll stop maintaining them every 3 months if not :D.

They already are fitted, dig back many a page and you will find where I have previously mentioned them and posted a photo. Post #3540 on page 118 Fitted to the back of the signal is the alphanumeric route indicator which shows the route U, D, E, and what we call a standout which is 4 stencils...
