That reminds me of an argument I had a few years ago, with the Local Operations Manager (at that time). He was complaining that he kept getting reports of trains being signal checked when entering the loops on the ECML in the Newark area. When we pointed out the 40mph turnouts were approach controlled he got irate and kept ranting that they weren't they had flashing aspects on the approach. How stupid he looked when he stood in the signal box one day and saw the approach control working, with his own eyes.Or, with a slower turnout, some kind of diverging distant indication using flashing yellow or splitting distant for the turnout.
