    Hi;
    I was driving a Quick Drive session with the M7 and 6 cars from Croton to GCT. When I got into the 15mph area in GCT, I was within the limit. I got an alert, which I was not able to cancel by hitting the button as is the normal procedure.
    Only after I moved the throttle/brake further into braking and hit the alerter button again did it silence. My speed was below 10mph by then. I continued into the station at 10mph and did not receive any more alerts, except the normal 60 second interval.
    The speed limit indicator on the HUD read 15, but I have learned that isn't the MAS when the signal is anything below N.

    While driving, I had the HUD up, so it was covering the cab signals. I hadn't realized that the indication had gone from N to M, then later it went to R.
    Checking the speed chart in the manual, I find that for M the MAS is 30mph and for R it is 15. So I'm a bit confused as to why I had to reduce speed in order to cancel the alert when I was already under the MAS.

    I don't recall having this issue when leaving GCT, so long as I am at 15mph or lower.

    Thanks for your help

    Only thing I can think of is similar to UK routes when coming to the end of a line there are AWS ramps where you have to be doing lower than 10mph
    Doesn't apply going the other way because you're not going into the end of the line.
    Can't find the manual on steam and don't have the line but it sounds something akin
