Never a good idea to be wearing red in any kind of operational role on the railways, I've always thought

Yet out and about on the track operationally, we are only allowed to wear fluorescent orange so it can never be mistaken for yellow and green. Certainly never wear road workers' fluorescent yellow which does have a greenish hue under certain light conditions.

Also if the day warms up, never to hang up fluorescent outer garments, as they can't acknowledge a warning sound from a driver, and create unnecessary tension.

But certainly, a red 'flag' exhibited from a box should induce a dramatic, and highly disruptive, series of events on passing trains Shocked
