replies: text: I don't dispute the existence of the signalling equipment - I took most of the photographs that illustrate the article - but Wiki has a no original research policy which means that the detailed information about how it is used needs to be backed up by citations.  Do you know where we can find these, other than in "private and not for publication" railway rule books? Geof Sheppard (talk) 12:32, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Citations added.  There is much on Wikipedia that is not cited but is common knowledge.  It is rarely challenged. 86.143.182.140 (talk) 17:36, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

text: I agree, but if it is "common knowledge" then it is unlikely to attract criticisim.  The citations are a good start, but the one that you give to replace the "fact" tag only states that the pointwork is now operated from a ground frame by the train crews.  I think that the images in this article support this.  What I still think needs proper citation is all the detail about the tokens etc.  It is presumably written by someone who has very good knowledge of how the line is worked.  BUT Wiki expects no original research, so just where can we verify these facts? Geof Sheppard (talk) 12:59, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: A citation has already been provided that states that the Coombe Junction token machine is unstaffed.  That same citation also clearly stated that the, "... pointwork is now operated from a ground frame by the train crews".  Since the only train crew present are the driver and the guard of the train, and the driver is driving the train, that leaves only the guard to operate the ground frame and hence grant the required authority to traverse the junction.  The former citation therefore covers this point. 20.133.0.13 (talk) 12:41, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

message: One use of "conductor" in the article was deleted because "there's no such person". Here's a current recruiting poster from the operator seeking to hire "confident and … focused conductors" for their operations, so I reverted the deletion. Now some second thoughts: everywhere else in the piece it's "guard", so perhaps it should go back after all; do we use the modern term, or the term which everyone understands but seems no longer to be correct?  Views? --Old Moonraker (talk) 20:21, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

message: The Western and Wales Sectional Appendix shows a slightly different operation of the signalling. The Coombe to Looe Staff stays with the driver except when needed to turn the No. 1 points. The Liskeard  to Coombe token is left behind at the token box. Techie3 (talk) 06:18, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The train cannot pass from the Looe branch to the Liskeard branch without changing the points so that token cannot remain with the driver as it has the ground frame key attached to it. The Liskeard token is only placed in the Coombe machine if a train is expected to move from Moorswater to Liskeard (which as the branch is now closed never happens). The token otherwise remains with the guard when travelling to Looe because he can only give it to the driver once the route is set up for Liskeard as the driver's authority to enter that branch. 2A00:23C8:9883:2601:8B0:E34:323C:B0FC (talk) 12:14, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
