If the tripcock did lift it wouldn't be necessary to go to the effort and expense of pegging down all the redundant trainstops!
The tripcock relay 'switch' inhibits full speed trip operation, it doesn't affect the operation of the tripcock itself. The existing tripcock cut out switch can be operated in the event of a defective tripcock, with the train proceeding in RM to the nearest depot or sidings.
(The above is slightly simplified to make it accessible to all audiences, before someone gets pedantic with me)
