Robust train protection

[peternrz]

I have been trying to formulate(as part of revision) a possible question and answer on robust train protection as far as swinging overlaps,flank protection,ATP,and other mitgations against overruns.Also; the implications of the recent change to NetworkRail standards removing the need to prove detection for points in the overlap in signal contols.Can anyone offer some guidance/references on this subject which may assist with exam preparations in case a related question come up?

If you have the module 2 part of the Study DVD you should find a folder with some powerpoint presentations: one is called someything like GX & LMT Junction Signalling and Robust Train Protection- this was a presentation given to the YM some four or five years ago that should be of some use.

Also there is one of mine re TPWS, the pdf version being on this website

Assuming you have access to NR standards then dig out:
RT/E/G/00028. I don't suggest that you learn in detail, but just skim through to get an overview of what it was trying to do and perhaps see some of the downside
