I think that these should be useful for students from a range of backgrounds, particularly those who are not going to follow the UK Mainline practice as many of my comments reflect on how I think the attempt would be viewed by an examiner only really familiar with the UK.
I think that part of the technique must be for the candidate to be aware where the practices they are following do depart from the default assumption of the UK and think how best to convey that info to the examiner.

Since the files are quite large, I cannot attach all to this same post but I will do so in a succession of subsequent posts.

Here the student has given the layout diagram that they used. I think the idea of marking with a highlighter the relevant route(s) is good; indeed the examiners recommend candidates to do this as often they find that silly slips are made by people in the exam.
Also you can see that other significant signals have been circled and also so have the signal exit numbers in the various route boxes as a means of ensuring that all the routes readig to a particular destination that may need to be considered for opposing route locking etc are correctly identified- another very good idea.

Also whereas I don't exactly understand the exact significance of what is drawn, it does seem that the person has thought about the BT/BU track joint and whether a train on one line is foul of a train passing on the other.

It is clear that the route indications relevant to the signals have been pencilled adjacent to the profile; not sure how this helps but as a candidate if you find it does help you then I suggest you do so.

Particularly when following a non UK mainline practice (and therefore there are things on the layout that are not completely applicable to your railway and therefore you need to interpret into your context), then I certainly do recommend
a) annotating the layout accordingly and writing on it the railway's practice you are following,
b) making it part of your formal answer and hence numbering the sheet with candiate number / module number/ question number,
c) making it clear to the exam invigilators collecting your work that it does actually forms part of it
after all you are told to "show working" and "state assumptions" and for this module this suggestion seems to me to be an effective and time efficient way to do so.]]> After a much longer delay than I would have liked, I have finally managed to get the time to give my comments on them.
