What is the thinking behind the signal identification scheme?
Those around Paddington stayed as SN when they moved from Slough New to Didcot. Some around Reading are T and others are TR after the panel there closed, SB▸ still survives around Didcot and the Kemble line controlled from Didcot has SW.
Anyone know what the signals around Swindon will be prefixed when the panel closes there - SW or T or TS?
At Reading at least, all new signals were labelled T and existing ones stayed TR until replaced. I can't see any TR ones left now, at least not in the RSAR area. Yes, the only remaining TR signals are those beyond Newbury on the Berks & Hants line. To renumber these would require a huge amount of re-labelling of the circuitry in the relay rooms at Woodborough, Bedwyn and Hungerford. The Swindon signals are going to be prefixed SW. Then when Bristol migrates to TVSC» , its signals will be BL. |

So this one at Bedwyn survives in its current form for a while....  |

Well justified given the penchant for signals (or a signal to be exact) in the Newbury area to fall over |

It does. Also part of the line from Oxford to Didcot and the Gloucester line from near Swindon Station to Kemble.
Can't remember how many workstations are involved.
Ten. Paddington, Acton, Hayes, Maidenhead, Twyford, Reading, Reading West Jn, B&H▸ , Didcot, Swindon(*). (*) Swindon workstation currently just controls the Kemble line. It will (when the Swindon panel finally gets decommissioned) fringe with Didcot at its eastern end, so TVSC» will be continuous from the Paddington bufferstops to Hullavington and Thingley. Slight correction there, its Slough not Maidenhead. |

Not wishing to underplay the seriousness of the incident I am, however, pleased to see that the line at Maidenhead is now electrified......  |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

Maybe if this was the type of electrification used through Slough they wouldn't be years behind...

The photo they used is of an unknown third rail electric location. Rather different from Slough !

Whilst I appreciate that the good folk of the Slough Observer are unlikely to trouble the Pulitzer prize judges, I was more interested in the background to the incident rather than a critique of grammar, geography and/or technical detail.................never mind! |

Me too. However, there is no date on the article and I cannot see any abnormal activity on RTT» at that time in the morning in the last seven days so difficult to comment really. |
