Is the correct response according to the highway code. However, if you have an intercity 125 coming at you at 2+ miles per minute, there is not a lot of get out time.
In order for the signalman to react to your frantic call and stop the train short of the incident, he would need around 10 minutes notice, or 22 miles distance from an approaching train.
