If we accept that stopping at a red is an acceptable part of the safety
mechanism, why can't we also accept that stopping at the absence of a
green, or the absence of any signal, is?


Which goes back to the route knowledge people have dismissed a bit
prematurely, earlier in the thread.

Anyway, if a train has come out of the platform at the top, it's a
bit obvious that if should be taking the x-over to get to the
westbound track.

Good grief! The bay exit even has a sand drag to protect it and they
manage this error!
