The PPO must make sure that In-Field Protection is placed on the:
 closed line 200m Clear of the crossover or turnout; and
 converging line that allows entry to the LPA area, at the Signal protecting entry into
the closed line.

 

FIGURE 6.1: Example of In-Field Protection arrangements if Rail Traffic is Authorised

If Rail Traffic crossing is Authorised, the Train Controller must get the PPO’s
permission for the move.
Where the PPO Authorises the movement of Rail Traffic across the LPA, the PPO
must:
 arrange the removal of Protection at the entry point of the Route; and
 when Rail Traffic has Cleared the entry point make sure Protection is replaced.
