MEANING of SIGNALS
❖ Red – Stop
❖ Green – Proceed
❖ Orange – Proceed with caution – possible obstruction ahead
1 – When any passenger trains are running the signalling system should be in operation
2 – The signal operator will be responsible for the operation of the signals and points.
3 – Under normal operating, while a train is in the station, a train on the main line will be given priority at the points past the station loop.
4 – When the train on the main line has passed the points, the station starting signal can be set to green. If the passengers are safely boarded the guard will then tell the driver it is safe to proceed.
5 – For safety reasons during public running, if a signal is ignored the driver will receive a warning, if a signal is ignored a second time the driver will be asked to leave the ground level track.
