Train doing 6x speed limit at Sandy, 19/10/18

Does high output kit use a "rolling" TSR on adjacent lines, that moves as the work progresses? I recall this being suggested for grinders many years ago but no idea if it ever happened. Portable TPWS would mitigate the hazards of driver confusion if the TSR moved around, although it would make it harder to do those moves at there would be more kit to re-locate.

Most diefinatly. (one assumes that being in said possession plan and WON entry equates to planned, published and signed).

As an aside: when was the last time the HOBC / HOTR last in the North west (I can't locate my High Output plan / timetable which was published yonks ago!).

I went passed it last night just sounth of Beeston Castle, between Chester and Crewe. It had the 20mph ESR as has been described. No temporary TPWS though. Impressive bit of equipment.

That's North West, isn't it?
Can be a tad strange if you're not expecting it though. I suspect (after thinking about it) temp TPWS may be slightly more hassle and time than its worth. Not to mention the additional risks involved with it.

Okay I have to ask, what’s a Dalek in railway terms?

The term was also used for the gadgets that operated the hopper doors automatically on MGR trains at power station discharge sites.
