			===== Block direction between Götzenhof, Marbach and Hünfeld =====

			The automatic block signals which are for the opposite direction of the active block direction are automatically locked, which can be recognized by the signal's locked indicator as well as the red bar below the big signal/track number. When the block direction of the track Götzenhof -> Marbach is changed, the signal Sbk 713 is locked and set to Stop, locked indicator is lit as well as red locked indicator. At the same time, signal Sbk 718 is unlocked, related indicator will be turned off, and the signal will show Proceed.

			====== Dark modus of main signals Y353, P354, P356 and P357 ======

			[[File:P354 dunkel.jpg\|none\|Bronzell\|485px]]

			A peculiarity for Bronzell is that, like the rest of the station are of Fulda, the green and yellow main tracks are equipped with LZB. As train movements into the direction of Üst Hartberg can be done in "LZB partial block modus", the signals Y353, P354, P356 and P357 can be switched off (dark modus) by the LZB safety system. Track 406 does not have LZB, and thus the signal here can not be set to "dark modus" which means that the "whole Block" towards Üst Hartberg (upto signal 563 / 593) must be unoccupied, before this signal can show Proceed.

			A couple of train routes, can bypass certain main signals, without having to apply UFGT for an alternative train route.
			Possibilities are: Y353.425 bypasses P403, A427.T357 bypasses R437, A423.X353 bypasses R403.
