These instructions are ONLY for use in connection with the simulations of Signalsoft Rail Consultancy Ltd. In no way should these instructions be used as official documents, and should only be used for educational or reference purposes!
IMPORTANT
The Sp Dr S 60 panels often require pressing two buttons simultaneously. Traditionally, computer mouses only allow one click at a time.
If you read Press A and B together, know that with your mouse, you should first press A, then press B. To help you keep track of which button has been pressed, a purple circle is lit around the button. After a certain time the purple circles will disappear. You have then pressed both buttons.

Dispatching and Local Characteristics
Before you get your approval to run the service on a signal box, you need to find out about the local characteristics. After training as a general trainee signalman, dispatchers were always paired with a person skilled in the signal box. This chapter is the brief introduction to the area. Read it carefully. It contains very important information.
The text is "peer to peer" written as if you are in the signal box, the first day after training.
