a simple question- one thing ive never dealt with is routing codes send over block bells. when are these sent? after a train is accepted? eg i accept a 3-1 or 4 or 3-2 then its route is sent before? highly unlikely instead of? eg 3-3-4 might be a local code for train to X and 2-4-3 is a local code to Y which replaces 3-1 route dependant or another? can anyone enlighten me?

http://www.s-r-s.org.uk/html/gwe/S732-BI.pdf Here are the Box Instructions for Taunton West Station. As you can see, special ILC codes were used for some routes. This may not be the way it is done everywhere though, any such details will be in the Box Instructions for that box. Log in to reply |

Usually, the special codes are used in place of the normal is-line-clear codes when offering trains forward to the next box. There were some exceptions to this, for example Newland East used to send 2-3-4 as a special train entering section code to Henwick for trains going round the Droitwich loop. This was possible because the most common WR routing codes were/are formed by suffixing the normal bell codes with -3-4 ("turning left"  or -1-5 ("right").

Hi All, When the boxes were in operation at Fenny Compton & Aynho Junction the routing codes were, in the down direction, trains for the Coventry branch at Leamington were offered from Banbury North as normal with the addition of 5-1, thus a freightliner for Coventry was 3-2-5-5-1. On the up Trains via Bicester at Aynho Junction were routed from Fenny Compton as follows, normal is line clear, when TES acknowledged from Banbury North the bell signal 1-5 was sent from Fenny Compton. Banbury North would then offer the train forward as (class 1) 4-1-5. If the signaller at Banbury South was a bit quick on the bell it was a bit puzzling at Aynho whether it was a 3-1-1-5 or a 3-2-5 Aubrey Log in to reply |
