In certain cases, the signals applying i nto Reception lines, Sidings or " N o Block" lines are of the miniature colour
light or position l i ght type. These normally display no light, the Proceed indication being given by a small yellow light
or tw o white lights at an angle of 45 degrees. W hen " Off" these signals apply as far as the line is clear only.
The following t o b e included as Rule 44A and R ule 44 re-numbered 44B:—
SUBSIDIARY SIGN A L S
RULE 44A.
Draw-ahead Signals
(a) Draw-ahead signals, wher e provided, are placed below colour light stop signals and, when lowered w i thout an
indication of route being given at the signal, authorise a Driver to proceed towards the next stop signal but not to pass
any Ground Shunting signal which may be at Danger. T he Driver must not proceed on his journey until either the Stop
signal above the Draw-ahead signal is lowered or the Draw-ahead signal is again lowered w i th an indication of route.
When a Draw-ahead signal is lowered and an indication of r oute is given, a Driver must understand that the line
towards the next Stop signal (or buffer stop when ther e is no signal in advance) is occupied, and proceed cautiously. The lowering of the Draw-ahead signal does not authorise the next Stop signal to be passed at Danger.
(b) The Draw-ahead signal will not be lowered until the train has been br ought quite, or nearly, to a stand at' it.
R U LE 133 ( c) .—AM END final paragraph to read:—
When either Driver finds i t necessary for the train to be stopped, he must give thr ee or more short sharp whistles
as a signal to the other Driver to shut off power and apply his brake.
* R U L E 127 (iii). A M E N D t o read:—
(iii) If not thor oughly acquainted w i th any por ti on of the line over which he is t o w or k obtain the services of a
competent conductor.
The conductor must give t o the train Driver the necessary instructions in regard t o the signals, curves, gradients,
speed restrictions, and other characteristics applicable to the line over which they are working and leave the actual driving
entirely in the hands of the train Driver.
The conductor will be responsible for the due observance cf signals, speed restrictions, etc., and safe working of
the tr ain.
In every case the tr ain Dr iver must study the signals, speed restrictions, and other characteristics of that par t of
the line over which he is being conducted.
The conductor will be responsible in cases where i t is necessary for the fireman to carry out the provisions of P,ule 55,
for seeing that this is done. I n the case of trains or engines, the driving cabs of which are single manned, the conductor
will be responsible for carrying out the duties laid down for the Fireman in respect of Rule 55:
* R U L E 135 (a). A M E N D to read:—
(a) W hen Strain is drawn by two engines the Driver, and Fireman where provided, of the leading engine is responsible
for the observance of signals and the working of the brake; the D r i ver of the second engi ne m ust, as far as i s pr acticable, observe all signals affecting the working of the t rain, including any which may be given by the D river
of the leading engine, and in case of need h e must apply t he brake or t ake any ot her action which may be
appropriate in t h e circumstances.
* R U L E 148 A M EN D t o read:—
(a) Guards must, as far as practicable, keep a good lookout and i f they have any reason t o apprehend danger they
must make every effor t to attr act the attention of the Driver or Signalman according to the circumstances. They must
always keep a good lookout when thei r trains are apprcaching terminal stations or stations at which they are due to stop,
and when leaving stations.
(b) I f the circumstances require their own train to be stopped, Guards must, if the train is fitted w i th the continuous
brake, apply i t in or der to bring the train to a stand. I f the train is not fitted w i th the continuous brake they must apply
the hand brake sharply and release i t suddenly; this operation repeated several times should, from the check i t causes,
attract the attention of the Driver to whom the necessary Danger signal must be shown.
(c) I f there is any danger to a train an an adjoinirg line, Guards must, when the train passes a signal box, show to
the Signalman a red hand signal waved slowly from side to side, and the Signalman must cn receiving this signal, act in
accordance w i th block regulation 17.
(tl) In the case of trains not fitted w i th the continuous brake, the Guard must, unless special instructions are issued
to the contrary always apply his brake as soon as he becomes aware that the Driver is applying the engine brake.
(e) \Ai hen a Driver requires the assistance of the Guard's brake he must give thr ee or more shor t sharp whistles,
and the Guard or Guards must immediately apply their brakes.

Regulation 17 (b). A M E N D fir st paragraph t o r ead:—
The Signalman in advance must immediately exhibit his signals to stop the train coming fr om the Signal Box fr om
which the signal was received and any train going towards that box on the opposite line. T he train for which the signal
was received, when stopped, must be carefully examined and dealt with as occasion may require. I f i t is not possible to
detach the vehicle in respect of which the emergency bell signal was sent, or to rectify the defect, or otherwise deal w i th
the emergency, and i t is considered the tr ain may be allowed to proceed w i th safety to a Signal Box in advance where
the matter car be dealt with a3 occasion may require, this may be done after the Signalman at the box in advance has been
told of the circumstances. T he train m ust be signalled i n the usual way and The Stop and Examine tr ain signal sent

DISC BR AKES
The normal type of vacuum brake gear, w i th clasp brakes, is not suitable for all Freight vehicles. I t is difficult to

wagons so fitted from being
brake
, u s has
e dbeenodeveloped.
n
m The
a following
n y
points should be noted in connection with the disc brakes:—
e x i s t i n
I. Som e wagons have tw o sets of brake gear, each set operates on one wheel which has a special solid centre, but
g
there is no mechanical link between the tw o sets of brake gear. O n other wagons the two sets of brake gear are
t i
p p l connected
e
mechanically
and operated by one cylinder. I n both cases the other wheel of each pair has the usual
r
s holes for sprags.
a
n
h e brake cylinders are fitted on thei r sides and have a diaphragm instead of the usual piston. T he travel of the
d 2 T piston
r od is less than normal. T he cylinders can be isolated in the usual way.
m
u
l
e 3 i sn Some. instances the hand brake operates on brake block o f the usual kind and is quite separate from the power
brake, whilst on other wagons i t is an integral par t of the power brake.
T
o 4 N o change over lever is fitted, the brake power is adjusted automatically according t o the load on the springs
of vthe wagon. W her e tw o sets of vacuum brake gear are fitted w i i 'lout mechanical linkage, the brake cylinoers
a
are independent.
o
i
d 3 A slack adjuster is provided t o maintain the brakes in pr oper adjustment.
t
h
e 6. W her
s e twc brake cylinders are fitted, tw o sets of release cords must be pulled on each wagon when i t is necessary
to release the brakes by hand.
e
d If the
i brakes
f
fi
should
stick on, and i t is not possible t6 release them by operating the release cords the Carriage and
Wagon
must
be sent for. I f the failure occurs at a point where the services cl an Examiner cannot be obtained,
c
uExaminer
l
t
without heavy delay, the brakes can be released manually by pulling out the pin in the red par t of the slack adjuster, and

The pin must be replaced after this has been done, and the cylinder rendered inoperative in accordance with clause It
of the general regulations for working the vacuum brake. T he train must then stop at the next point where a C. & W .

Staff at intermediate stations loading traffic i nto trains conveying these packages m ust ensure that the r equir ed
4 feet segregation is maintained and Guards should satisfy themselves that this is done.
It will also be the responsibility of Guards who are relieved en r oute' to advise the Guard wor king forward of the
presence of these consignments.
Security.
Al l consignments of Type 2 radio-active material must be conveyed i n the van i n which the Guard is riding. A t
stations the traffic m ust be kept i n a safe place and arrangements made t o ensure that the necessary segregation is
maintained.
Notice of Despatch.
Advance information w i th regard t o all consignments of Type 2 radio-active materials to be despatched by rail wtil
be advised by the Commercial Department to the Operating Department, and the Operating Department will arrange
for the despatching and intermediate transfer points to be advised of the details so that the necessary arrangements for
loading and transfer can take place under the prescribed conditions.
Advice and Signatures.
The actual despatch of each Type 2 consignment must be advised by the sending station to destination station and
all intermediate transfer points of the trains concerned. Packages will be sealed and signed for from hand to hand.
Condition o f Vehicles.
Owing t o the possibility of dust on the floors of vehicles becoming slightly activated, the vehicle floors should be
swept before radio-active traffic is loaded.
Returned Empt ies.
Returned empties will be treated as conveying radio-active material unless an assurance has been obtained by the
Commercial Department that the empty packages will not emit any radio-activity.
Goods T rain Conveyance.
At the present time radio-active material (Type 2) cannot be accepted for conveyance by goods train.
General N o t e.
It is understood that at certain stations where Railway staff are required to handle packages containing radio-active
-Asubstances some anxiety has been felt that these duties might have undesirable effects upon the health of the staff, T her e
may also be some concern by guards travelling with such packages.
In drawing up regulations for the transport of radio-active substances by rail the Railway Executive had the advice
of its Research Department and of independent scientific experts. T he regulations are stringent and the staff can have
full confidence that the method of packing and transporting these materials is such that full pr otection is pr ovided: no
member of the Railway staff should suffer any harmful effects as a result of carrying out his normal duties in the presence
of these consignments.

The attention of the staff is drawn to the following instructions, which must be carefully noted by all concerned:—
Tr ansit.
Every care must be exercised i n loading and unloading baskets on and off platform trucks or i nto and out of vans,
and other packages are not to be placed on top; the baskets must not be thr ow n down as this may injur e the birds by
concussion. Barrows which cause the baskets to be tilted must not be used.
Birds must be despatched by the trains specified on the labels; i f no tr ain is shown, by the first available service.
To facilitate transit, they are to be forwarded, whenever possible, by thr ough trains.
IN THE EVENT OF BASKETS OR PIGEONS EN ROUTE T O RACE POINTS H AVIN G T O BE DETAINED AT
FORWARDING AND/OR TRANSFER STATIONS AW AITING DESPATCH. THE BASKETS MUST BE PLACED WHERE
THEY W ILL BE UNDER OBSERVATION OF THE STAFF.
Should birds be overcarried they must, in all cases, be promptly r etur ned t o the pr oper station for liberation, and
the circumstances reported.
If i t is found necessary to detain birds overnight, they must be stored out of reach of cats, rats, etc.
Care is t o be taken t o water birds which may have been delayed, or have t o be detained owing t o unfavourable
weather. W hen detention is prolonged, food must be given; one, or at the most, tw o handfuls of corn per basket wiN
suffice. Ther e must be an interval between feeding and liberation, as it is undesirable to release birds with food in their
crops.
Where birds are despatched for shor t flights It Is not necessary to feed or water them, unless they have suffered
delay or have had to be held over owing to bad weather.
Liberation.
It is important that labels, etc., be examined ver y carefully before birds are released to see that senders' instructions
are complied with, and t he name of the station at which t he birds are liberated must be stamped, or writ t en
on t he address label, and t he t ime, dat e, st at e of weat her and init ials of persons iiberating inserted.
It must also be observed from what station the baskets have been forwarded and if any delay has occurred en r oute,
this is to be reported.
Pigeons cannot "hom e" in the dark, and must not, therefore, be liberated at a time when i t would be impossible for
them to reach their lofts during daylight the same day.
Where practicable, Station Masters are to select one or more members of the staff to attend regularly to the liberation
of birds. A site adjacent to the Station, clear of buildings, telegraph wires, moving or standing vehicles, must
be selected and all t h e birds released f rom t his spot. T h ey must not be released at t he edge of covered
platforms or allowed to fly into the narrow space between the verandahs. F ailu re to act in accordance with
these instructions may result in valuable birds being maimed o r killed. B irds going in opposite directions
must not be liberated within several minutes of each other, as large numbers are diverted from t heir course
by this practice, and in t he case of young untrained birds many are lost through clashing wit h birds flying
on a different course.
If weather is unfavourable for flying, birds are not to be liberated, but held until the following morning i f necessary,
and an advice sent by telephone, or telegraph, to the sending stations, w ho must in tur n advise senders.
Cases have been r epor ted wher e birds have been liberated at stations other than those indicated on the address
labels, and of baskets addressed to private liberators being liberated by railway staff. C ar e is to be exercised to see that
such mistakes do not occur.
Empty Baskets.
After liberation of the birds, empty baskets must be cleared of litter and r etur ned w i thout delay to home stations,
where the staff must place them i n safe custody, and examine the labels t o see that no baskets belonging to any other
station ar e kept on hand. Em pty baskets received w i thout address labels must be immediately r epor ted t o the Lost
Property Department, description and size, also date and tr ain received being given in all cases. Loss or delay to empty
baskets not only gives rise to claims but seriously inconveniences the owners, w ho are not able to utilize the baskets
fully for training purposes, and involves the railway in loss of revenue.
Empty baskets must not be thr ow n out.
Accompanied ( by Convoyers).
As a general rule, Homing pigeons conveyed for liberation at stations in connection with races promoted by Clubs,
Federations and Combines are in charge of convoyers. These men ar e supplied w i th permits authorising them to travel

and
of all concerned is again directed to the need for seeing that the protective windscreens provided in gangway stock are made use of to exclude draughts, and to ensure that passengers passing from one
coach to another do not come i nto contact with the gangway plates.
It is the duty of the shunting staff to see that these windscreens are placed in position when gangway stock is coup-led
up, and that the windscreens ar e unfastened before gangwayed vehicles are uncoupled.
Guards wor king gangwayed trains must satisfy themselves•that windscreens are i n the correct position and must
fasten any which may be found not properly coupled up.
The new E.R. standard type of windscreen is permanently fixed to its vehicles and is connected, by means of a hook
which fastens i nto a staple provided on the body end of the adjacent vehicle.
Before vehicles are separated i n the course of shunting movements, the windscreen should be removed from the
adjacent vehicle by unhooking from the staple. I t should then be folded and hooked back out of the way so that the
feting surface does not become dir ty and greasy by contact with the vestibule face plates of an uncoupled vehicle.

W IN D SC R EEN S O N G A N G W A Y STOCK—continued
The windscreen equipment is provided with safety release sockets to guard against damage in the event of a vehicle
being inadvertently uncoupled w i thout first unhooking and folding back the windscreen. This, however, is only a safety
device and must not be used as a general means of disconnecting the windscreens dur ing shunting operations. N o t only
is this practice likely to lead to damage to the windscreens, but leaves portions of them on both of the vehicles concerned.
The equipment left on the respective vehicles is incomplete unless the tw o vehicles are again br ought together, and i t is
essential, therefore, when the safety device is used inadvertently that the hook por tion should be immediately removed,
reconnected

If in the case of regtilar train sets difficulty is experienced in connecting this type of windscreen owing to the absence
of staples i n non-BR. standard vehicles, the assistance of the local C. & W . staff should be obtained with a v'ew to the
provision of the necessary staples on the non-standard vehicles concerned.

Attention is drawn t o t he necessity for locking door s i n t he steel grilles separating van space fr om t he side

The Commission has recently had t o settle some very heavy claims for loss resulting from wagons which for Some
reason have lost their traffic labels, and have also been found to be in need of such repair that they have been labelled
by the C. & W . staff to "Shops". This often involves the wagons being placed away amongst cripples and waiting some
considerable time before they are attenoed to. W hen opened in the Shops the wagons have been found to be loaded;
in the case of one container this was found to contain meat which had become a total loss.
It is, therefore, most im por tant that all wagons or containers should be examined t o make certain that they are
empty before being put away amongst cripples. Van doors should be opened owing to the unreliability of testing by a
blow on the side to ascertain whether loaded or empty.

Many complaints have been made by the Oil firms of instances wher e tank cars have been received back at the
forwarding point with the contents still intact. I t has been established that this has been due to the special double-sided
labels •having been reversed at some point so as to exhibit the "home empty" side of the label.
Stations are reminded that these labels are not to be removed fr om the tanks by Railway Staff.
In the event of a tank car being stopped by the Operating Department, owing to doubt as to the correct destination
(e.g. where the tw o labels on a vehicle bear contradictory directions) the circumstances will be reported to the Goods
Agent at the place where the vehicle is stopped and the iatter should immediately get in touch by telegram or telephone,

The code provides an easy reference to the various types of diesel locomotive In connection w i th the extraction of
statistical information and for maintenance requirements; i t facilitates comparisons of the performance of the different
types of locomotives within a particular horse power group.
The code will be used In diesel locomotive diagrams and in load book and r oute availability pamphlet. T h e makers,
horse power, serial numbers and code are shown in detail on the attached.
The following information will be shown on the outside of the driving cabs of Main Line Diesel Locomotives:—

When working unfitted loads or partially fitted loads with diesel electric locomotives, unless special loads are quoted
in the Loads Books between specified points at special timings or giving a laid dow n num ber of fitted wagons t o be
connected t o the locomotive, the following general instructions must be observed t o ensure the diesel locomotive will
be capable of bringing the load t o a stand within the prescribed braking distance for the section concerned:—

67. ( a) Compressed air is the power employed to wor k the brake, which is automatic; that is, i t applies itself in the
case of a break-loose or failure of any vital part.
(b) T h e pressure in the main reservoir must be kept to 90 lb. per square inch, and i n the train pipe t o a pressure
of 70 lb. per square inch. Eac h m otor and driving trailer car is provided with a gauge having a red and a black
hand. The red hand shows the pressure in the main reservoir, and the black hand the pressure in the train pipe.
(c) A "Dead Man's" handle valve is fitted to operate in the driving handle of the master controller, so that, should
the Driver release his grip, the brakes will be applied and the control current cut off.
(d) D ef ect ive "Dead Man's" handle o r emergency valve—
Should the "Dead Man's" handle or emergency valve become inoperative, the Guard must ride with the Driver
until another man can be provided for the purpose or have the defect remedied. T he defect must be reported
to the Mechanical & Electrical Engineering Department at once.
Isol ati on of em er gency valve w hen coasting.—The "Dead Man's" handle which is fitted t o the Controller and
which provides for automatic action of the brakes in cases of emergency must always be kept operative when the train
Is in motion.
Under no circumstances must the reverser key be placed in the " Off" position when the train is coasting.
68 (a). Drivers must satisfy themselves that the Westinghouse air brake is in pr oper working or der before starting,
and at each station where any vehicle is attached or detached. I t must also be tested before descending steep inclines,
in or der that the speed of the train may be reduced as necessary. T he Driver of a train running direct or backing i nto a
platform w i th buffer stops at the end, or to a platform where another train is standing, must do so cautiously and, at a
proper distance from the place where the train has to come to a stand, must test the Westinghouse brake and then r un
forward at such a speed as to enable him to stop the train at the proper place.
(b) Unless the Westinghouse brake is working pr oper ly when thus tr ied, the Driver must whistle for the Guard's
attention, stop the train and inform the Guard that the Westinghouse brake is out of order, and that the hand br ake
must be relied upon for working the train. T he train must then be worked forward at reduced speed under the contr ol
of the hand brakes and special care must be taken in approaching stations at which the train has to stop.
(c) Should the Driver discover any defect in the working of the brake which would r ender i t ineffective, he must,
as soon as possible, give the Guard notice, and arrange with him as to the use of the hand brake i f necessary.
(d) The brake must be applied with great care, so as to bring the train to a stand w i thout rebounding or otherwise
causing inconvenience to the passengers. F or ordinary stops the valve should be opened, and again closed gentl y when
the pressure has been reduced by about 5 to 8 lb.
(e) The Driver on finding that the brake has been applied by the Guard, or automatically, must at once assist in
stopping the train by an ordinary brake application.
(f) Should a Driver find that his train is being retarded by the brake blocks not being off, he must stop, under fixed
signal protection i f practicable, and pr oper ly release the brakes.
(g) W hen changing ends the Driver must close the brake valve isolating cock and then make an emergency application
of the brakes when the train is at rest, before putting his brake handle to the release position.
(h) The Driver must ascertain that the brake hose couplings are connected and the cocks in the brake pipes are in
the correct position thr oughout the train:—
(i) Before leaving the stabling point.
(ii) W hen another set of coaches has been detached or attached.
(i) D r i ver s will be responsible for working the hand brakes in thei r compartments.

69 (a). W h e n a train has been standing at a terminal station more than 10 minutes the Guard must see that the
proper train pipe pressure is registered on the gauge in the Guard'a compartment before giving the signal to start.
(b) Before leaving a stabling poi nt or when a vehicle or vehicles are attached a test must be made by operating the
brake valve in the rear vehicle on the train and reducing the pressure in the gauge by 20 lb., w hi ch will apply the brakes.
The pressure in the gauge will, on closing the brake valve isolating cock, begin to rise, and the signal to start must not
be given until the gauge shows 65 lb.
The Guard must enter the rear driving cab for the purpose of making the test, which must be made after the Driver
has completed his preparation of the train and whilst the Driver is in the leading driving cab with the brake valve isolating
cock open in that cab.
(c) I f the Guard, upon making the test, finds that the pressure does not rise, the brake connection is inter r upted,
and he must not permit the train to be started until a search has been made to find the cause of the inter r uption.
(d) W hen a Guard has occasion to apply the brake he must open the cock and allow the air to escape until the train
is br ought to a standstill, but he should only use the brake in case of emergency.
If a train fails to stop at a station at which i t is booked to call or runs in arty way irregularly, the Guard must at once
take steps t o br ing the tr ain t o a stand and ascertain i f all is well w i th the Driver i n charge. I n these circumstances,
unless the Guard has reason to consider an emergency application of the brake is necessary, he must apply the air brake
by partially opening the emergency valve i n the Guard's compartment unti l the pressure has been reduced by about
5 to 8 lta. o r until speed is so reduced that he is satisfied the Driver has become aware that the train is required to stop.
(e) In the case of a train becoming divided, the Guard must put the hand brake hard on before going back to protect
his train.
70 (a). T h e Driver and Guar d must r epor t any defect or irregularity at the next stopping place and the station
staff must immediately advise the Mechanical & Electrical Engineering Department.
(b) The brake on each vehicle can be released by opening the release valve on the pipes leading to the brake cylinders.
This is done by means of the release cord or wire which is to be found under the body of the vehicles, about the centre
of the frame. T he valves close themselves by the cord or wire being allowed to go free.
(c) N o unauthorised person must interfere with any of the cocks or valves on the train.

Rules 37 and 38—Modified—
Except as provided i n Rule 55, clauses (h) (i) and (h) (ii), a Driver must not pass a signal at danger unless a
subsidiary
is exhibited or unless he is instructed by the Signalman, Handsignalman acting on the Signalman's
instruction,aspect
or Pilotman.
Rule 136 (1:)—Modified—
-
Should the whole of a tr ai n over-run a station platform, i t must not be set back w i thout the permission of the
Signalman and then only when considered absolutely necessary by the District Control Room. After the train has come
to a stand, the Signalman m ust be informed where the tr ain is standing by means of the nearest available telephone.
When the telephone is a signal post telephone, but does not apply to the line on which the train is standing, the Signalman
must be advised accordingly.
Rule 149—Modified—
Exception (i)—The author ity t o propel trains within Station Limits will not apply, except in cases where the area
to be known as "Station Limits" is defined, for the particular place concerned, in these instructions.
Rule 153 ( a) —M odified—
A fr eight train must not be r un on any running line w i thout a brake van in rear, unless specially authorised or as
shown below.
In cases wher e the area to be known as "Station Lim its" is defined, for the particular place concerned, i n these
Instructions, a freight train may be run within that area without brake van in rear. T he person in charge of the movement
must immediately inform the Signalman by the most expeditious means in the event of anything untoward happening to
the movement or should any vehicle become detached.
Rules 178 and 179—Modified—
When pr otecting his train in rear the Guard must carry out the provisions of Rule (179) (i) except that i t will not be
necessary t o go beyond t he nex t stop signal i n r ear although this signal is exhibiting a Proceed aspect providing this
applies to an unobstructed r oute.
Should the Guard arrive at junction points before reaching the signal he must place thr ee detonators ahead of the
junction points so that trains proceeding over the unobstructed r oute do not pass over them. T he Guard m ust then
continue to the signal and communicate w i th the Signalman.
Rule 182—Modified—
The exhibition of a green hand signal waved slowly from side to side will only indicate to a Dr iver that his train is
divided and will not authorise him t o pass a signal at Danger.
Rules 183 and 184—Modified—
Wrong Line Or der Form " D " (Yellow) will not apply. W r ong Line Or der Forms " A" (Pink) and " B" (Green) will
apply for a movement from the signal next ahead of where the train or portion of a train is standing. W hen W r ong Line
Order Form " A " or " B " is used i n these circumstances the heading must be amended t o read " Guar d t o Dr iver of
Assisting Engine" or "Dr iver to Driver of Assisting Engine" as the case may be.
The Guard after protecting his train when Form " A " is used, and the Driver or Fireman when Form " B " is used,
must proceed t o the stop signal next ahead of the disabled train to deliver the W r ong Line Or der Form t o the Driver
of the assisting engine and accompany i t to the disabled train. W hen proceeding forward, the Driver, Fireman or Guard
must pr otect the disabled train as shown i n the thi r d paragraph of Rule 183 clause (g) and, i n addition, must place one
detonator on the line at the signal ahead.
Clause 3 of the Instructions headed "Station Lim its" i n the B.R. General Appendix will apply except that i n the
foregoing circumstances:—
(a) t h e Signalman's permission to r etur n in the wrong direction will extend to the signal next ahead of where the
train or por tion of a tr ain is standing;
(b) shoul d i t be necessary to make a wr ong line movement between tw o signals controlled from differ ent signal
boxes the Signalman in advance must not authorise the movement unti l he has reached a clear understanding
with the Signalman in rear.
Before giving author ity for a wrong line movement to be made the Signalman must advise the Driver of any catch
points, spring or unworked trailing points i n the line concerned.
Rules 189- 208
These rules must be observed, so far as they can be applied, together with the following additions and modifications—
General
Where for the purpose of single line working crossover roads operated by ground frame are used, the man appointed
to take charge of the working at each gr ound frame must, for the purpose of these Rules, be regarded as a Signalman
and the ground frame as a signal box.
49
continued—
Rule 194. C lau se (c)
Will not apply.
Rules 197 and 200—Superseded by.—
Clause (a)—
•
The following signals must be kept at Danger and the arrangements which must be made t o enable trains to be
worked past these signals are detailed below:—
I. T h e signal immediately contr olling the entrance t o the single line for trains travelling i n the r i ght direction
(signal No. 8 on the diagram on page 206 of the Rule Book) must be kept at Danger.
A Handsignalman must be stationed at the signal. H e must keep one detonator on the rail and exhibit a hand Danger
signal t o stop each approaching train unti l instructed by the Pilotman to permit the tr ain t o pass the signal at Danger
or by the Signalman when necessary in connection with clause (b) of Rule 192.
Where, however, the signal is a considerable distance from a crossover road oper ated fr om a ground frame and
telephone communication is not available between the signal and the ground frame, the Handsignalman must be stationed
at a poi nt 200 yards from the crossover road. H e must keep one detonator on the rail and exhibit a hand Danger signal
to stop each approaching train until he is instructed to allow the train to proceed as shown in the preceding paragraph.
In these circumstances, Drivers may pass the signal at Danger and proceed cautiously towards the Handsignalman ahead
on the author ity of the Signalman at the main signal box.
2. W hen the signal referred to in ( I) above is less than 220 yards from the crossover road the signal next in rear
of i t must also be kept at Danger and Drivers may pass this signal and proceed cautiously to the signal controlling the
entrance t o the single line when authorised by the Signalman.
3. T h e signal controlling the entrance to the obstructed line situated i n rear of the crossover road at which trains
are crossed from the right line to proceed along the single line (signal No. 2 on the diagram on page 206 of the Rule Book)
must be kept at Danger.
A Handsignalman must be stationed at this signal. H e must keep one detonator on the rail and exhibit .a and Danger
signal to stop each approaching tr ain unti l instructed by the Signalman or Pilotman under author ity of the Signalman,
to per m it the tr ain t o pass the signal at Danger.
Where, however, the signal is a considerable distance from a crossover road operated fr om a gr ound frame and
telephone communication is not available between the signal and the ground frame, the Handsignalman must be stationed
at a poi nt 200 yards from the crossover road. H e must keep one detonator on the rail and exhibit a hand Danger signal
to stop each approaching train unti l he is instructed to allow the train to proceed as shown in the preceding paragraph.
In the circumstances, Drivers may pass the signal at Danger and proceed cautiously towards the Handsignalman ahead
on the authority of the Signalman at the main signal box.
•
4. W hen the signal referred t o in (3) above is less than 220 yards from the crossover road the signal next in rear
of i t must also be kept at Danger a id Drivers may pass this signal and proceed cautiously to the signal controlling the
entrance to the obstructed line when authorised by the Signalman.
Note.—In connection w i th paragraphs 2 and 4 above, before authorising a Driver to proceed, the Signalman must
advise him that Single Line W or king is in operation ahead and that he may proceed only as far as the next signal ahead.
Clause (b)—
All signals applying to the obstructed line between the tw o crossover roads must be placed and maintained in the
Danger position and will not apply to trains when running in the wrong direction over the single line.
Clause (c)—
Where the signal applying to trains running in the r ight direction over the single line, and pr otecting the crossover
road where trains are crossed from the obstructed line to the single line, cannot be worked (signal No. I I on the diagram
on page 206 of the Rule Book), a Handsignalman must be stationed there. H e must keep one detonator on the rail and
exhibit a hand Danger signal to stop each tr ain approaching on the single line in the r i ght direction unti l instructed by
the Signalman i n charge of the ground frame to permit the train t o pass the signal at Danger.
Where, however, the signal is a considerable distance from a crossover road operated fr om a ground frame and
telephone communication is not available between the signal and the ground frame, the Handsignalman must be stationed
on the approach side of the crossover road. H e must keep one detonator on the rail and exhibit a hand Danger signal to
stop each tr ain approaching on the single line in the r ight direction until he is instructed to allow the train to proceed
as shown in the preceding paragraph. I n these circumstances, a Handsignalman must, whenever possible, also be stationed
at the signal and must stop each tr ain approaching on the single line in the r i ght direction and instruct the Driver to
proceed cautiously towards the Handsignalinan ahead.
Clause (d)—
The other signals applying t o trains travelling over the single line i n the r i ght direction must, where practicable,
be worked.
Clause (e)—
Where i t is necessary for trains to approach a junction on the single line in the wrong direction a Handsignalman
must be stationed opposite the junction home signal and he must keep one detonator on the rail of the single line and
exhibit a hand Danger signal to stop any train approaching on the single line in the wrong direction until the Signalman
authorises him t o permit the tr ain t o pass the signal at Danger. W her e the junction home signal is so situated that a
train coming to a stand at i t would foul the junction the Handsignalman must be stationed well clear of the junction.
Clause (f)—
An Occurrence Book must be provided at each gr ound frame when single line wor king is i n oper ation and the
Pilotman must sign the book and enter the time on each occasion he arrives at the ground frame/signal box controlling
the crossover road where trains are crossed t o thei r pr oper line after proceeding over the single line i n the wrong
direction.
50
continued—
Clause (g)—
The crossover road thr ough which trains are crossed from the obstructed line to proceed along the single line i n
the wr ong direction must not be used w i thout the permission of the Pilotman.
Clause (h)—
Any intermediate ground frame in the section which is being used for single line working must not be used unless
the Pilotrnan is present.
Clause ( I) —
Except wher e special instructions t o the contrary ar e issued, w hen Absolute Block Regulation 25 (a) (Iii) is i n

I. I t is of the utm ost importance that verbal messages i n connection w i th movements of trains or vehicles and
matters affecting the safety of the line, ei ther directly or by telephone, should be properly understood. T h e person
initiating the conversion must announce his identity, ensure that he is speaking to the person or persons for whom the
message is intended, and satisfy himself beyond all doubt that his message is fully appreciated before the conversation
is terminated. I n the case of telephone messages, each recipient must repeat his instructions to the sender before they
are considered as understood.
2. I n no circumstances should the word "Clear " be used i n any message intended to convey that a line is blocked,
e.g., such a message as "Down or Up line not clear" must not be used, but must be given definitely by using the words
"Down or Up line bl ocked" .
3. W h e n a Handsignalman is appointed under the jurisdiction of a Signalman he must be instructed when commencing duty that the line or lines affected must always be considered to be blocked, and exhi bi t a hand danger signal

2. B r ak e tenders are subject to a maximum speed of 60 m.p.h. when being drawn and 45 m.p.h. when being propelled.
In the latter case, the train headlamps must be placed on the tender.' N ot more than tw o tenders may be propelled.
3. W h e n i t is necessary to couple or uncouple a brake tender to or from a locomotive this will be the duty of the Fireman
or Second man. I f no second man is employed i t will be the duty of the Guard or Shunter. Befor e a tender is separated

The duty of coupling and uncoupling o f the br ake tender s t o and fr om the train will be in accordance w i th the
instructions regarding coupling and uncoupling of locomotives to and from trains, as set out in the Sectional Appendix.
4. F o r the purpose of load computation, diesel brake tenders will be regarded as equal to 3+ basic wagon units, and I+

5. A diesel locomotive running l i ght with a braking tender or tenders attached will for signalling purposes, be treated
as a l i ght engine. I n all such cases the Signalman signalling the movement must advise the signalman in advance, by
