31
how can you tell if a signal is a co-actor?
it may have a ‘P’ on it will have the same signal number as it’s counterpart (because? they are treated as one signal, if there is a problem with one of them they are both treated as danger)

37
warnings bords
are permanent 1200 m. prior to the point of works yellow fish tail with red W has a speed below you must reduce to by the CAUTION board
38
Caution board
permanent way board 200m before the point of renewal or repair yellow circle with red C number indicates speed between this and the NS board
39
Normal Short board
permanent way is 200m after the point of works is white rectangle with NS when the front of your train passes this board you can resume speed
40
Normal board
placed 1200m from point of works white with black N indicates you can resume speed if you weren’t already permitted by the NS board
41
permanent way boards showing different speeds
P= passenger train G= freight train
