The CD/RA indicators are used all day every day for GN services, only 12 cars and VTEC / Hull Trains get manually dispatched. That sign (RA Board) tells a driver the platform is unmanned so they will need to dispatch themselves (or in the case of a 700 not stop). Degraded dispatch also, as said by @Fred26 above, refers to dispatchers locking off parts of a train to enable them to dispatch it safely when short staffed (again not possible with a 700).I'm not on about the CD/RA indicators. I'm not sure they're used any longer (I'll have a check). Attached is the sign I referred to in my earlier post. I assume this a degraded dispatch?
