Re: New wiki front page

Post by Michiel »

We also need a new page on the signalling system, since it's quite different than ZUB or ATB. Here is a brief description with some pictures in case someone is willing to filling the wiki:
A4226.jpg
A4226.jpg (55.07 KiB) Viewed 3508 times
Basic two-aspect London Underground signal. Shows red or green.
AT4.jpg
AT4.jpg (54.61 KiB) Viewed 3508 times
Two-aspect signal with route indicator.
RAT21.jpg
RAT21.jpg (187.47 KiB) Viewed 3508 times
Repeater or distant signal, this signal indicates the state of the next signal. Shows yellow or green.
A2254-RAT6.jpg
A2254-RAT6.jpg (51.77 KiB) Viewed 3508 times
A2254-RAT6-Notes.jpg
A2254-RAT6-Notes.jpg (75.03 KiB) Viewed 3508 times
Four-aspect signal, basically a normal signal and repeater combined. Top two lights are the normal signal, bottom two lights the repeater. Shows red, green-yellow or double green.
AT6-RAT4.jpg
AT6-RAT4.jpg (239.05 KiB) Viewed 3508 times
Same as above, combined normal and repeater signal, but to save space the second green light is left out. Shows red, yellow or green.
FRL.jpg
FRL.jpg (154.76 KiB) Viewed 3508 times
Fixed red light.
AT34-AT35.jpg
AT34-AT35.jpg (462.57 KiB) Viewed 3508 times
Shunt signals, the one on the left shows stop, the one on the right proceed. Note that when combined with a normal signal, the normal signal stays red, but the shunt signal allows you to pass it (assuming a shunt move is authorised).
SW91.jpg
SW91.jpg (349.38 KiB) Viewed 3508 times
Three aspect signal used on sections controlled by the National Rail instead of London Underground. Also shows a speed sign, if this speed sign shows a higher speed than the current speed, you may only increase your speed after the end of your train is past the sign.
Speedsign.jpg
Speedsign.jpg (280.73 KiB) Viewed 3508 times
London Underground speedsign. You may increase speed as soon as you pass this sign (assuming you are running a normal length train).

I created a basic page with the signals displayed on it, and I included instructions on what to do as well. I used the template for ZUB and changed some things. Please give feedback! https://sim.bemined.nl/wiki/ATB_LU

The link to this page is not on the navbar of the other systems pages yet.
Since Michiel didn't give the name for the system and I couldn't figure it out myself, I called it ATB LU (ATB London Underground). If Michiel or someone else knows the name for it, please put it here so I can rename the page and change the hyperlink for it on the page :D

EDIT: Renamed page to ATP/LUSS (reasoning below), new link is https://sim.bemined.nl/wiki/ATP/LUSS

It hasn't really got a name apart from just being the London Underground Signalling, its just some modified conventional signalling

Edit: the trains do have a system called Tripcock where the trains trip when passing signals at danger, so maybe it could be called that

I would call it a signalling system over train protection, since there is no cab signalling available nor any kind of speed protection (apart from train stops at dead-end tracks that are on a timer).

CTSS seems like a good name (City of Thames Signalling System). Otherwise Tripcock is a good name

Why not just London Underground Signalling System? Or LU Signalling System?

Actually, ATO is being installed around the LU network. And the GWR uses AWS if we're having any of those in Thames.
And note that this is an English based route, it's ATP, not ATB.

So to break it down
UK Mainline - AWS/TPWS (Warning Systems of signal aspects and protection)
Tube - ATP (This is a system to stop trains from overspeeding)
- Tripcock (The system that stops trains if they pass signals at danger)
- LU has so many different signals for different lines

So its AWS/ATP? I mean the system is probably built on the ATB framework (just like ETCS with ZUB), so it has SPaD's, Speed limitation etc
It can be both names at once.

EDIT: LUSS also sounds like a good name.

ATP is literally ATB just translated to English.
