I decided to do the written questions before the control tables, this left me with more time to complete the control and less stress. think I will adopt this approach for the exams.

please can anyone provide feedback, on both content and technique.

I associated 30 minutes to each question and seemed to run out of time for each before I had really finished, so there's some unanswered/unfinished sections. I wasn't going to post it as I was quite unhappy with the end result, but how would I have gained anything by sending it to the bin, so here it is.....

I attempted the point controls first, and next thing I realised I was 15 minutes in so had to move on, leaving not much time to finish off the route controls. I had printed out the layout on double sides by accident so the route tables were on the back which slowed me down a little, but that's where the excuses end.

The rest was just poor time keeping on my part, and not really giving the marks available the time I should have given.

I think by the end I just started to ramble, as even though it was a mock exam the pressure still got to me.

I'm glad I did this though, as it gives me time to rectify the issues I have.
Please provide feedback on the content, as well as exam techniques I can use to make sure that I at least come out of there with full answers.
I'm going to do another 3 mock exam under exam conditions over the next few weeks, so hopefully I can nail this down and go into the exams on the 5th as prepared as I could be.]]> Over the weekend I attempted 2018 paper under exam conditions, and lets just say it didn't go too well.

3- SPADs

5- Level Crossings in station proximity (Stowmarket control position has been erroneously stated by me as being 125m from the protecting signal rather than the crossing "edge").

9- Junction Constraints

Done in exam conditions (1.5 hours exam time, 10 minute reading time).

For comment or query.

Many thanks.]]>

I've attempted the titular question and will load it in the morning, pending this upload can anyone elaborate on how the identification and justification of indication integrity? The method I've used is to identify potential issues and allocate a frequency and consequence of these events occurring.

Please see attached an attempt at module 3, 2016 paper question 6 regarding signalling principles for tunnels.

I found part c of the question was tricky- coming from a non-metro/underground background the idea of constructing a station in a long tunnel seems something of a rarity.
