I gather that the barriers in the ECML go down when the route is set through them, though that could be wrong. I'll have a look at the Sectional Appendix and let you know what type they are,

That would then be either CCTV or MCB with an auto lower feature enabled (which can be switched off), sorry to be pedantic but they are not classed as uncontrolled .

That's all right Just the easiest way to explain them as uncontrolled automatic

uncontrolled automatic

semi automatic

I went out for my first day working with NR today with S&T at Woking depot and we had a set of points fail, which was interesting for me as a student. The only thing was that the team could fix it for the time being but could not guarantee it not failing again as the signaller would only give us 1min to sort them out because of the train frequency. I think this shows that NR does care about passengers and does try to minimise disruption, it just goes unnoticed. Hopefully that set will have been, or is going to be sorted by the night shift.
