3.2. ADJACENT LINES

WARNING

  • Where the Rail Traffic Crew are unable to confirm that the Adjacent line
    is not obstructed, they must assume that it is obstructed and protect that
    line first.

If the Rail Traffic Crew suspect their Rail Traffic has fouled an Adjacent line they must
immediately tell the Train Controller.
Where the Rail Traffic Crew are not assured by the Train Controller that other Rail
Traffic has been stopped or prevented from entering the affected Block they must:
 immediately and repeatedly transmit an Emergency broadcast; and
 use Rail Traffic lights to warn any approaching Rail Traffic by flashing the
Headlights.
On Bidirectional lines where there are Adjacent lines, Protection must be applied to
affected lines in both directions.
The Rail Traffic Crew must apply Protection to affected Adjacent lines with the priority
they consider necessary
