Slightly off topic I know but please could you tell me the ‘correct’ way to use the SG button?
It’s a button I rarely use. Always feel such a pest using it especially when it’s blinking obvious.
Should be used to notify you’re at a red signal immediately or after two minutes if there’s an obvious reason.

Interesting to hear that from a signaller. I'm always on the SG button following the rules and I feel like I'm being a pest to the signaller. I won't feel so bad now
It's cause we are all psychic and know the response... WAIT.
No way. We are so different.Guess I've been doing it wrong.. I press it as I hit the magnet
You need to up your game Com. I hit it at the double yellow.Guess I've been doing it wrong.. I press it as I hit the magnet
Congratulations on the new job.
Is that in the rule book or pdp?
Yes, It's the first rule in S4
I clearly need to dig S4 out today

I visited Wembley , one was asleep and one making tea and two were chatting and may possibly have been playing asteroids. I have never had a signaller in my cab
Definitely think drivers could benefit from visiting more signal boxes, especially some of the busier higher grade boxes.
I’ve never met a driver in the years I’ve been signalling.
Yet we go on cab rides to get an appreciation of your role.
(I’m not saying drivers don’t visit boxes, and I’m not saying you haven’t before, I’m speaking generally here)
No body asked you to be here mate.
Local TOC round my way stopped signallers having access to driving cabs (with correct cab pass obviously) when covid kicked off and have said they have no plans to allow it again. It’s a real shame, we have lots of newly qualified siggys who have never had the chance to see the railway from the cab and maybe never will. A couple I’ve spoken to haven’t even ridden on a train as a passenger before!
Careful with that mate on an open forum.I visited Wembley , one was asleep and one making tea and two were chatting and may possibly have been playing asteroids. I have never had a signaller in my cab
It’s definitely a shame that’s the railway doesn’t promote experiencing other sectors to gain better understanding of the machine as a whole.
It hopefully is obviously a joke. But to clarify, three were working and one was showing us around.
