Tube Trains Sent On Collision Course
In article , ] (Steve
Fitzgerald) wrote: In message , writes I tentatively think this focus on the lack of signals is a bit misleading. Ultimately, all safety on non-ATO lines depends on drivers correctly responding to signals (barring tripcocks - am i right i thinking these are only present at a fraction of signals?). 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? Tripcocks are present at all home signals on LUL lines. You meant to say: Tripcocks are present at all stop signals on LUL lines. Didn't you? Yes. I wondered whether I'd got it wrong when I wrote it. I meant to exclude distant signals. -- Colin Rosenstiel |
