Fair enough, that was just my guess. I'm in no way an expert. I just know that the signal at the crossing can be on green whilst the barriers are raised.
This happens at Huncoat from time to time. Conversely when the barriers are up, it feels unnerving/counterintuitive standing on the platform, seeing railway signal on green while cars are crossing.
The Burnley example is 'informally' in place. I've been travelling to Burnley and alternated between stations depending on the time. Never once has it been an issue. Usually from Manchester Rd, they will check that we don't need one of the intermediate stops.
Just as it should be.
That's really interesting thanks. I live in East Lancs but have done the journey to Pompey more times than I can remember, visiting family in North End.
Fratton is interesting. A 3 platform station with P1 for everything heading out of the city and 2 & 3 for inbound services. Does it need all 3 or would 2 platforms suffice?
Hi, following on from the thread about the 'Portsmouth direct line' I was wondering how services to the two stations were allocated? I.e. which terminate at P&S and which at the harbour? Is it a legacy from different train companies? Or is it based in where the train originates? Or is it...
Reinstatment of the Todmorden curve. Creating a direct Manchester Sevice from Burnley and Accrington. Shame it continues to Wigan rather than the airport.
