" said:I think (not certain though) that real signallers could use an emergency control to the same end, or S&T could fiddle with the wires to make the system momentarilly *think* the track is clear.I believe that requires all trains to be stopped throughout the interlocking for that to be allowed. Depends on the severity of the failure as to whether it is worth doing I suspect. I do remember a failure at a box was preventing an overlap from releasing, which - had it been released - would have allowed trains around the failure. In this case the S&T falsely occupied the next track which was the berth track of the signal, allowing the overlap to time out and a reduced service to resume. SimSig Boss Log in to reply |

" said:Very occasionally, what is called a "Wrong-Side failure" occurs, where the track is occupied but a fault causes it to show as unoccupied, however with the amount of fail-safes used, these are highly unlikely, and don't feature in SimSig to my knowledge.Oh dear - please don't implement this! ;D Log in to reply |
