I spoke to my friend who is a driver. He said when you see 2 yellows as a personal preference, slow down to 50-60 mph. Not only does it give you time to react if the next signal is a single yellow. It also prevents you from catching up with the train ahead. Which is normally the reason you will be seeing yellows. When you see a single yellow, slow to around 40mph this will give you time to react if the next signal is red. If the next signal is red then slow right down and coast toward the signal preparing to stop. Coast for as long as possible as its better to get the train moving again when it's rolling than it is from being stopped. If the signal changes apply power, if not stop obviously. And always expect to stop at a red signal. If you follow those preferences you will never get caught out with approach control. For terminating/dead end platforms. The rules are, always enter the platform under 15mph unless it states otherwise. And coast to a stop. You should never apply power at this point either. approaching a buffer stop/red signal.
I assume also with tpws and oss loops if you don't slow down enough for a speed reduction or a yellow aspect etc it will trip you. Am I right or not? Just watched another video about it and the tss loops are only at stop signals just before and energised when signal at danger
Any grids at a terminus platform is under 10 mph. Some tocs like a 50% of linespeed rule at single yellows but that's down to route knowledge, some of the signals are too close together so the route knowledge is really key.
