GERT8000-T3 Iss 11

You will need this module if you carry out the duties of a driver or signaller.

At section 4.6, a new sub-section b) has been introduced to the signaller’s instructions allowing an alternative means of allowing an engineering train to depart a possession, when published in the Weekly Operating Notice or Engineering Notice. This applies when the detonator protection is at less than the standard distance from points and the train is given permission to depart from the last stop signal before the detonator protection.  A new section containing the corresponding driver’s instructions concerning the alternative arrangement has been added at section 9.9.

The title of section 5.9 has been changed to a gender neutral term (manually controlled level crossing) and, similarly, at section 7.2, the role ‘pilotman’ has been changed to ‘pilot’.
