TEMPORARY REDUCTIONS OF SPEED OF TRAINS Notice to Drivers, Second Persons, Track Force Protection Coordinators and others.

(a) (i) Repairs and renewals are being effected at the following places and, until further notice, the speed of trains must, if required, be reduced as shown. Each location will be protected when necessary, either by hand signals, or by special permanent way signals. Train Crews must keep a good look-out at these locations for such signals, which must be exhibited in accordance with these rules. (ii) In the absence of such signals, trains may be run at the ordinary rate of speed. (b) Drivers are reminded that repairs of lines necessitating reductions of speed, of which it has not been able to give notice, may be necessary at other places beside those mentioned in this notice. They must, therefore, be always on the lookout and be prepared to stop or to run at reduced speed whenever and wherever hand signal are exhibited. (c) Work Group Supervisors and others in charge of works at the following places where the requirements render it necessary that the speed of train be reduced, must understand that this information does not in any way relieve them of the responsibility of seeing that Competent hand signallers, furnished with the necessary Hand Signals and Audible Track Warners are stationed at the places named for the purpose of signalling in accordance with these rules, or that the special way Warning and Caution signals are exhibited, as each case may require. Special permanent way warning and Caution signals are exhibited at the locations contained in the following tables. For instructions regarding the use of these signals see Rule 7, Section 15 of the Rules and Operating Procedures 1994. (d) Unless otherwise specified, all reductions of speed shown in this notice apply until the issue of the next Weekly Operational Notice. Any temporary reduction of speed which appeared in the last issue of the Weekly Operational Notice, and which is not included in this edition, may be regarded as cancelled. (e) Subject to any temporary modifications in the foregoing or other current instructions, the permanent way reductions of speed and the speed limitations shown in the Working Time-tables, and all additions to and amendments thereof, must be carefully observed. Signallers, Train crews, Work Group Supervisors, Gangers and others must promptly report their Supervisors, any case in which they observe trains running in excess of the speed laid down at or between any of the points where speed is appointed to be reduced. These reports must be forwarded to the Safety Manager of the relevant company.
