As of last night, the group's format has changed. Reuben and myself will offer our services based on people requesting specific assistance. It was suggested M2 2009 would be run under psuedo exam conditions and would likely occur in two weeks on Pride Park.

Reuben and I are always willing to assist willing students, clarify points or review work. Just ask.

Group studied signal placement on M2 2009 mainline plan based upon the headway calcs previously derived. Several questions raised:

1) Does a signal that can display only a single red (exit to a main route) require an overlap?
2) How can a 3-asp signals be applied through station B when the braking distances don't support such?
3) Could a 3-asp head (green blanked) be used to exit from the spur with a R/G 2-asp starter?
4) What options are there when transitioning from 3-asp to 4-asp and vice versa?
5) Where do you start on the plan?

The basis will be a self-help group dealing with issues in modules 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7. It is aimed at those wishing to improve their professional understanding and to help others improve theirs.

Probably bi-weekly, on Wednesdays on Pride Park and other local guest establishments with a networking session afterwards in a local hostelry.

If you wish to attend them please PM me.

Is anyone interested in attending a regular self-help study group in Derby around either RTC or Pride Park? If so, please reply to the thread and I will, with assistance from another in DeltaRail, to organise a group.

When you reply, state what dates are good for you (it'll likely be 4-6pm start for an hour or two), what your preferred modules would be and whether you intend to sit the exam, or part of it, this year or next.
