This video is Module 7 of the series recorded in the Railway Operations Centre at York. It demonstrates the use of a Visual Display Unit (VDU) workstation to allow a signaller to intervene and override the normally automatic operation.

Modules 1 to 6 will be found on the page dealing with the operation of NX panels.

This video is intended for viewing at a maximum screen resolution of 1920 pixels wide by 1080 pixels high. Please be aware that viewing at a larger size may result in a loss of clarity and a 'grainy' appearance.
