om...

Can't say it bothers me though I do think the ATO could do with a
bit more intelligence so that it doesn't suddenly accelerate to its
target speed and whoops , suddenly realise theres another train in
front then brake , then , oh that trains moved , we'll accelerate
again , oh , we're too close again lets brake.. etc etc. I'm
thinking someone should have mentioned the concept of coasting to
the systems programmers.

A limitation of fixed block signalling... there's not much the ATO
can do about it!

But human drivers manage it!
