[edit] Token usage
I presume this article needs correcting in the token section to reflect that Whitby - Middlesborough trains now need to perform and extra token change at Grosmost??? Maniac Pony 22:18, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- As I understand it, they don't. I think that a token can be released at Grosmont, but this is just the same as a token being released at Battersby, just from a different place. That is, Battersby - Whitby is still a single block section, but the token for it can be released or replaced in two different places. A normal sprinter service will take its token at Battersby, proceed to Whitby and back and replace it's token. An NYMR train can take it's token from Grosmont, but only if there isn't a train already in the block, including the section between Battersby and Grosmont. Once the token is release, a sprinter can't enter the section at Battersby until the NYMR train has replaced the token at Grosmont. I hope you see what I mean, I'm lacking the technical terminology to describe it! →Ollie (talk • contribs) 22:36, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
That makes sense, however some information about how this works from someone in the know would be appreciated. Isn't the process of releasing tokens mechanical? (i.e one can only be release once the other section has been physically been replaced). The system you mention above would imply that there's some new electronics at work between the cabinets. Just to clarify, what I assume is a mistake, that its actually a single token between battersby and Glaisdale and Glaisdale to Whitby, not Battersby to Whitby as one section?
