The Train Control system enables Safeworking for a given area to be under the control
of one Train Controller.
The Train Controller:
is in charge of the management of Rail Traffic working;
is in charge of the Issue of Work on Track Authorities in their area of control; and
is responsible for the initiation of alternative procedures following Rail Traffic
failures, Derailments, accidents, etc.
The Train Controller’s instructions must be carried out provided they do not conflict with
the PTA’s Safeworking Rules and Procedures or endanger the safety of passengers,
Workers and Infrastructure.
