Q

Which signals on this route are non-block and what does this mean?

A

The stop signals protecting Gristhorpe in both directions. This means that these signals only protect Gristhorpe MCG and do not control the movements of trains. This is a location listed in the sectional appendix where a green hand signal shown by the crossing keeper authorises you to pass the protecting signal at danger as it purely protects the crossing and this is confirmation that the crossing is safe.
