But I was wondering if from the outset we all decide to adopt a consistent standard to use for submission on this forum, then it may hasten the process learning if we do not have to spend time deciphering a different format. Granted this is not what you get on the railway as the CTS come in many forms but if NR decide on a standard then I donr see why we cant here to aid exam prep. I have attached mine and Im very willing to adapt it but if I dont hear otherwise I'll submit in the form theyre in. In word format they by the looks of it cannot be printed so I have printed using Primo PDF (free on internet) and they look fine. But they will be okay to edit in word. As ever feel free to comment, pick holes
From my perspective I do see the advantage of people using same / similat formats and practices, though I would not want anyone to feel constrained. I am aware of the challenge that for example Indians will face in interpreting the given signallled layout in the light of their practices and am hence willing to give anything a go. However perhaps if you have yet to get very familiar with any style, then adopting these proposed ones as a suggestion may be a good idea, at least initially. You always have the option as get nearer to the exam to refine to suit yourself. Indeed I think I wouldn't choose eto to do precisely like this but I think they are pretty useable and we can refine as necessary as gain experience through practice use.
