railadvent.co.uk/2023/08/polic… This is rather amazing. As in the the 1963 robbery, they interfered with signals to get the train to stop. There was an excerpt from an incident log on the birdsite which I’ve shamelessly lifted here but I have no idea of its provenance. I’d be fascinated to read more.
@geekylou :transgender_flag: Probably not quite that well informed? Most people kind of understand signals by analogy with traffic lights (though they probably don’t understand yellow) but are probably entirely unaware of track circuits.
