Just a quick question regarding the placement of the exit signal at Greenhithe for Bluewater (when travelling from Dartfort to direction Gravesend). The exit signal after the station, before the short tunnel, is placed above the right-hand track. I think this is accurate and is also the situation IRL. I also get that this is necessary because of the curve and the line of sight. A signal on the left-hand side would be visible too late. How does the driver know that it relates to the track on the left? I have not found any markings etc. which would allocate it to the left-hand track. Could it not be misread for a signal on the "wrong", i.e. right-hand track? Sorry if I am missing something here, but it could at least be ambiguous.
In Germany, we have an additional signal (the so-called checkerboard) on the "correct" side if a signal is positioned on the "wrong" side. https://www.tf-ausbildung.de/SignalbuchOnline/ne4.htm
Route knowledge. All drivers who sign a route must have in-depth knowledge of the route including signals, speed limits, crossings, stations and other things. Drivers are tested/evaluated every 6 months on routes they sign to drive. If they fail to pass the test/evaluation they are put back into training mode and will be supervised until deemed fit to return to solo driving.
