After the closure of the two existing signal boxes i paid my first visit to Stafford station yesterday. As you are probably aware the station was closed over the Bank holiday for re-signalling, bi-directional running,and a dedicated down freight line through the old yard, there appeared to be some strange movements going on, including an up freight using the DOWN line through platform 3! ( which to me was bang road!).
The signal that is on the end of platform 4 (up line) now has the capability to turn into a single flashing yellow, this apparently indicates to the driver that the next signal for the Trent valley line will be at least one yellow allowing the train to keep moving, i hope you understand me.
