Of course if there is a train in the section ahead, it may need to
stop, as the station starter will be at stop.

How does this work with ATO? Is the route code reprogrammed to ignore
Queensway, or is the code overridden?


There is a station skip which can be put on. It's used when stations are
closed for security alerts etc.


The only problem with using the station skip, IIRC, is that you can
only skip one station in three. So with Queensway closed, it would be
impossible to automatically skip either Lancaster Gate or Notting Hill
Gate - the driver would probably have to drive in CM past all three.
