AIUI a wet bed is a condition arising from poor ballast drainage. The track bed becomes soft allowing vertical movement in the track causing pumping and wear to the ballast and a dip in the alignment which can be felt in the train. It’s most obvious give away is a white/grey sludgy accumulation on the track. Perhaps there’s a temporary speed restriction on that line and the display is to remind the signaller. Perhaps someone from the P Way can give a better description.
Road/Railer vehicles on the line?
I used to put ISOL
another is BTET same thingI know RDR means "rest day relief", a type of signaller that covers other signaller's rest days (i.e. working weekends, moving around signal boxes to cover for "resident" signallers who are on leave, etc). Doubt its related though since this wouldnt appear on the berths?
RDRL indeed will be a road-rail on-track machine as was suggested, and not related to a relief signaller.
Makes sense!
Oh I'm a proper idiot and didn't see I was only on page 1! Thought it was an unanswered question haha
This was previously entered as "VERY DAMP"!
I think most people on here will have made that mistake at some time, probably more than once
Open Train Times show the berths vacant,when was this?
It was a few weeks ago, only just stumbled upon this thread
That's probably the reason, but why would they be given that code?
Maybe it's like when they have 2 services coupled together that split.
That I could understand because it would be split across two boxes, perhaps there is two berths there but for some reason this app / website combines them and displays as a singular entity.
I believe that's the way Traksy displays what OTT shows as two areas.
Terminal platforms can display 8 - incoming train and outgoing. Some can display 12
One does find that rather interesting - most I've came across are split across multiple berths in the platform rather than one combined one.
Or indeed when things are perfectly fine - I recently got to interpose my own name into a TD berth on a box visit! Signallers were very clear it had to be appropriate as some have gotten in trouble in the past now its all easily accessible to the public.
I believe it is meant to be the item number listed in the Weekly Operating Notice.
Presumably the Piccadilly platforms show 4 because they can have inward and outward codes for 2 trains?
At the risk of straying off topic, is the WON publically available somewhere? Don't work on the rails myself but a cautious newbie enthusiast.
