I believe some of the longest delays may be removed by recent

Such as?

I believe there is a new idea about Wrong Direction Movement; the new
concept is in all cases tp carry on to the next station.
No change there yet, except that it now needs to be authorised by the
Service Manager, and that the rear tripcock does not need to be cut
out. Any points will still need to be secured and an Operating
Official (as the person in charge) is still requied, to walk from the
station in the rear, after ensuring that adequate protection and
handsignalmen have been appointed.



In cases where there is a signal failure at a station starter there
are also new rules. The intention is that that these new rules will
speed up service.
Only on stations/lines with working Platform Edge Doors or In Cab
CCTV. The Train Operator will still need to receieve specific
authority from the person in the Signal Operator role if it is a Semi
Automatic, via Signal Post Telephone (if it works), Station Supervisor
or on the Northern and Central via Cab Secure Radio. Even then, if
points are involved they must be secured by Scotch & Clip - unless the
Train Operator can see a Route Secure Visual illuminated.
