At 11:04 the Basingstoke WoE Signaller granted a line blockage of the Up and Down Exeter lines to the Yeovil Junction MOM to complete an Insulated Rail Joint inspection for a fault picked up by the Measurement Train. SE4790 signal button was thought to have been cancelled by the Signaller (putting the signal to red) so he granted the line blockage without checking the aspect indication for the signal. At 11:14 the Signaller realised that 1L40 had entered the limits and attempted to call the Driver, but this call was cancelled as the MOM had called in from the SPT for SE4788 signal to report the train coming into the limits and was sounding the horn.The Yeovil MOM was clear and safe of the line and no near miss was reported. |
