Playing Leeds today, I've had a banner repeater failure. Can't recall it happening to me before. You can see that the failure doesn't prevent me clearing the signal in rear:




My question is: if a train were to reach the failed banner (which hasn't happened yet, as this failure only happens on the "signal is displaying danger" aspect), would the driver stop and phone it in?

It's not prototypical.

With a failed banner in the ON position the signal in rear should be at danger.

Only when the banner is failed but should be showing a proceed can the signal in rear clear and then only to a single yellow under modern practice.

The signal in rear should require banner "lamp or controls."

L3804 (the signal reading up to the banner repeater) was missing the BR from its logic. Fixed, along with one other (the rest were ok).
