G'day BW,
Yes, the Train Stop system does not prevent a stick being passed at stop, or a buffer snot.
But, the damage sustained to the A setter and cattle woulda been a tad less severe had the train only been progressing at less than 25 kph.
Down in the dungeons in smog hollow, the train stop (trip) remains raised at sticks showing Green over Red.
Until train speed is determined to be below 25 kph and then the trip drops.
It is amusing to watch smog hollow hoggers working squirts on Green over Reds in the underground.
As the squirt trundles along at or below 25 kph, the trip actually drops after going out of view from the cab windscreen.
The A setter collision protection does not align with the hydraulic rams on the Richmond buffer.
So, that also did not help.
I don't know if yer ERTMS will solve all potential dramas.
After all, it didn't work with the TSRs on the Cambrian Coast Line back in 2017.
Yer RAIB mob having published the incident report.

I don't like computers.
We have a shonky level crossing in smog hollow on the Old South approaching Fairfield.
A permanent 40 kph TSR now adorns that level crossing due to the number of idiot motorists attempting to wrestle trains on the crossing.
Steve.
