Speeds

edit

I have a feeling that there are some display speeds missing; looking at a uk.railway mail [1], these would appear to be 130km/h, 90km/h and 30km/h. AFAIK, in the channel tunnel (separate network code), 140km/h, 120km/h, 100km/h and 70km/h are available instead from the higher-speed codes. A Eurostar cannot display 140, so will display 130 (the next speed down); thus leading to the brake-accelerate cycle when a Eurostar is following a Shuttle train (@ 140km/h) and keeps displaying alternating 160 and 130 to the driver (the signalling system is actually requesting 140). —Sladen (talk) 14:37, 5 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

"Zéro" cab signal

edit

 

Is this the wrong colouring for the Zéro cab signal? I've only seen one photograph of the actual cab indication (on a Eurostar Class 373), and it was coloured as illustrated on this webpage: [2] That's also how it is drawn in the CTRL Rule Book. Do both versions exist, on different kinds of trains perhaps? –Signalhead < T > 18:40, 5 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Flashing?

What exactly does it mean when the TVM display flashes? Is it simply meaning that the signalling system wants to get the driver's attention? -- Denelson83 05:42, 30 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
