Signaller error Post a regulation error at Waterloo, the Signaller requested that the Driver should change ends and return to Queenstown Road. Due to a breakdown in communication and a clear understanding not being reached, the Driver began to carry out the movement without first checking with the Signaller once they changed ends. Upon investigation, it had appeared that the Signaller had not been specific with their instruction. This incident is subject to further investigation. |
