  Thats still too fast, if there is ANY problem with a signal, you must drive
at a speed slow enough to stop short of any obstruction. That speed may vary
according to where you are. If you can see a long way ahead of you and can
see that it is clear, youd drive a little quicker than you would driving down
the Blue Mountains where in most places, you cant even see your ass end of
your train when going around corners. He shouldve been driving at a MAXIMUM
of about 20km/h. Even that may be too lenient. A little common sense goes a
long way. If the next signal he came to was green, the safeworking rules
state, that he must continue to drive at a speed slow enough to stop short of
any obstruction until he reaches the 2ND signal showing a proceed indication,
ONLY THEN may he resume normal speed. -- CityRail driver, and big fan of HO
