Hi, In Stockport sim I was unlucky enough to have a Down stopper held at Woodsmoor for 40 minutes, which locked out the crossing inside that section (quite some way ahead). In the real world, is there a rule that would allow MCB/AHB crossings to be set back to open - with the train prohibited from moving? Thanks Jamie Jamie S (JAMS) Log in to reply |

9pN1SEAp in post 116010 said:Hi,If it's an AHBC, it would have to be taken under local control, I think you could do it under TS9 reg 3.8 "A train required to stop in the section will stop within the crossing controls." But by the time a crossing attendant has got down there, it might not be worth it? You would wanna tell Ops Control about the problem in real life and possibly the civil police, as you're effectively shutting a public road. Log in to reply |

If the train hasn't failed, do you just have to bite the bullet and leave the barriers down then? I can't see anything else under TS9 reg 3 that would apply. Or are we invoking G1 1.1?

If it's a failed train and there is a sealed release then TS1 3.7.1 applies. (But that needs the box to have a sealed release in the first place ) Steamer in post 116018 said: headshot119 in post 116014 said:I'm sure someone can find one where the station is between the strike in point, and the AHBC, someone always finds an exception! Though generally speaking yes there will be a signal provided, and I believe once the route times out the crossing will time out and cycle to raised.Presumably, an AHB with a station within the strike-in point would have a signal between the station and the crossing?

If it's overriden on local control then the road lights should extinguish.

Presumably if the barriers were stuck down then the right type of food trolley may not be able to be delivered...…?
