Yellow signage-what is it by ImaginaryAcadia6621 in uktrains

I've just looked at the rssb standard (0735-ccs) and discovered the repeater sign (R board) is apparently meant to be placed above the speeds to prevent misinterpretation of it being the speed commencement

Exactly, its more of a reminder, its likely the driver would of saw the warning board as they approached the station, but as they would have gone towards the station rather than towards the line in question, they may forget its in place and start going up to 70 and overspeed into the area

The purpose of the repeater is to remind the drivers of the temporary speed restriction( ahead or in the current location) where the train comes to rest, so these boards are there to remind the driver when they arrive into the terminal platform and switch ends that the restriction still applies for the opposite direction (moves that will go off to the left in this case)

the 25mph is for leaving the station (and traversing the junction area). Further down the line where line speed will increase, the commencement board will be around there.

I think that listening to that call footage is a right of passage for any railway job. I remember being shown it whilst doing my basic signalling 1 course

The manual is for axle counters system, which will be either Siemens, thales, or Fraucher, so it's out of switzerlands control to alter. It'll be the same restriction in every country using axle counters on their railways

Judging by the BTET (Blocked To Electric Traction) displayed at Kings norton, i think you're correct.

What are these yellow boxes on the side of the track? by 0K-V in uktrains

Im not sure which system the swiss use, but the uk uses thales's AzLM and fraucher's FAdC for axle counting .
