One of the Coroners recommendations as a result of the Hines Hill Smash was
that running crosses , ie 2 trains entering a crossing loop simultaneously
under CTC rules be banned.
As the Westrail, AN and PTC CTC systems allow running crosses but the SRA
system doesnt,does anyone know whether any changes have been made to
discontinue this practice.
Also are running crosses permitted under the PTCs ASW system.?

cheers
