I watched a train going along the Ordsall Curve track behind Salford Central this lunchtime and was surprised to see the train stop at the Saford end of the chord at a red signal. Clearly there was nothing on the bridge.
A train then went along the tracks on the far end of the chord and shortly after that the train was allowed to proceed.
I assume this means this is the signal which controls not only when a train can enter the chord but also allows it onto the tracks in Castlefield
Why is it positioned here and not at the the end next to the Junction so that the train could have been entering the other tracks as soon as the signal cleared?
Or have I missed something obvious?
