UNCONTROLLED WHEN PRINTED Introduction This Depot Appendix has been developed based on an idea from Newcastle Depot and after consultation at Driver Manager Group and Local Operations Focus Group it was decided that it should be rolled out across the company as best practice. This Depot Appendix should be used in conjunction with all other publications which include: your Rule Book, Sectional Appendix, Professional Driving/Conductor Handbook and Traction Manuals. Special thanks must go to all concerned in the production of this publication including all the Instructor Drivers and D.T.M.s at Manchester Piccadilly and especially to Buxton Driver Don Coffey who has spent an enormous amount of time at his computer working on the graphics.
Early in 2013 various ammendments were made which included the new contact details for BTP and also a lot of information that would be useful to conductors and this resulted in it being issued to them also.

We have been made aware that some of the ground position lights in these maps do not exactly replicate the actual signal at the location. We are aware of this but would like to point out that they are purely symbolic and not meant to be an exact representation. This may also apply to some theatre boxes on signals. Due to space limitations we have only been able to show that the signal has a theatre box and not necessarily the way they are configured. Since the original maps were issued the infrastructure has undergone many changes, most of which have been included in these maps but we are always happy to hear of any alterations that you feel should be included to keep them right up to date.
If you have any ideas or comments about this publication please feel free to contact your DTM/CTM.

SEMAPHORE SIGNAL NUMBER GUIDE
Following an article in the Winter 2009 edition of CABS we have decided to include this quick finder guide to semaphore signal numbers. It should help you to quickly locate the number for the signal as well as providing a reminder of the contact numbers. It does not include any subsidiary or shunting signal numbers, only the number of the main signal which should be sufficient for your call.

PLATFORM "OFF" INDICATORS
To assist you with the viewing of platform starting signals, at certain locations these signals are fitted with either an "OFF" indicator or a banner repeater. The off indicators are primarirly the new style LED type, however there are still some of the old style stencil type around the network.
Below are some examples of "OFF" indicators in this area and over the page is a list of locations where platform starting signals are provide with either an "OFF" indicator or a banner repeater.

Page 10 UNCONTROLLED WHEN PRINTED NORTHERN CONTINGENCY PLAN
The Northern Rail Contingency Plan is designed to manage the risk arising from the hazard caused by isolating an item of on-train safety equipment, either before a train enters service or if a failure scenario arises when in service. Northern Control then have to manage these incidents and determine where best to take the unit out of service and minimise disruption to our customers and Network Rail infrastructure.
The contingency plan has strict guidelines as to what action control must take and for traincrew to follow these instructions. It is therefore vitally important that Northern Control are advised of faults and failures, in most cases immediately.
In reality trains can be terminated anywhere, provided another train is following and can be stopped to pick up your passengers.
If it is not possible for another train to be provided and your passengers have to be forwarded by road then special attention should be paid to how they are going to leave the station. Passenegers in wheelchairs etc would need special attention and in these cases the following stations only are allowed to be used, as they have suitable facilities to accomodate passengers.

With more of our units having the DKS modifications carried out, y ou will find y ourself more and more requirin g to do your door duties from the front of the train.
This will give a whole new perspective on what you see whilst doing these duties, you will have been used to looking along the platform from the rear of the train to the front and will have been able to see any platform starting signal.
Now that you are doing the doors from the front of the train you are reminded of the fact to remember to check any platform starting signal as it will be behind you now. Also resist the temptation for idle chit chat with the driver as this may take away both of your concentration levels whilst carrying out dispatch duties.
Page 15 UNCONTROLLED WHEN PRINTED EASY ACCESS AREA (EAA)
Any easy access area (EAA or "Harrington Hump" as they were christened after the first one was installed at Harrington station) is a raised platform, which gives assistance to passengers with any mobility difficulty to board our trains.
There is a base area where the conductor can alight to do station duties and there is a long gradual slope onto the platform area for passengers to use, should they require it.
Please be aware of any EAA's on your routes and be fully aware of the working instructions for each station where they are fitted as they may not all be the same.
Certain stations have had special stop boards erected for drivers to stop their train in a specific location, this is due to all platfrom lengths being different and station furniture having to be taken into consideration (e.g. shelters, footbridges etc..)
These EAA's will continue to appear over the network as they offer a simple, cheap alternative to raising the platform at all the required locations.
Page 16 UNCONTROLLED WHEN PRINTED ECO DRIVING
ECO driving or responsible driving as it is now going to be known, is all about you the driver using your skill and judgement when driving to use as little fuel as possible and in turn help the company reduce its carbon emissions.
The Northern Operations Handbook which was completely re-written and issued to everyone at the start of 2011 advises you to use the 3,5,7 technique.
This depends on such things as gradients, signal aspects, speed restrictions, unit performance and railhead conditions.
It is something you have been doing for years without thinking about it, shutting off going down hill and coasting for long periods of time. This can all be done and still run the train to time, however it is still your responsibility if running late to try and make that time up, so at these times your driving technique is allowed to alter to take this in to account.
Finally there is the issue of leaving engines running for long periods of time when there is no need for it. Get to know the locations where you sit for say half an hour, shut it down but always remeber to start it back up in time to build any lost air back up.
Page 17 UNCONTROLLED WHEN PRINTED ECO DRIVING
How well do you know the gradients on the routes you drive over?
Below are 2 extract's from an old book of British Rail gradient profiles, 1 from Cheadle Hulme to Stoke (lots of old place names have been blanked out). Did you realise it was such a long climb to Macclesfield? And the second is between Chinley and Dore.
We will start to issue these with route packs in future and post them in the conference room so they are always on display.
