    Can a train be moved immediately after a SPAD?

    The way I always look at it, danger (SPaD) means that the signal is showing a red aspect to protect from the undesired entry of a train into the next section, whereas red (SPaR) is the term for when the signal has not been set to red before a correct sequence of restrictive aspects have been...

    TOPS Requests (including headcodes, allocations, traction, etc) [Instructions in Post 2]
