The Possession Protection Officer telephones the Train Controller responsible for the specific portion of track to ask permission to take the LPA.
Once the coordinating Train Controller authorises and issues the LPA, the PPO arranges to protect the boundaries of the LPA as described in the Possession Protection Constraints Register (PPCR).
