GERT8000-HB12 Iss 8

You will need this handbook if you carry out the duties of the ES or SWL in a possession.

Section 3.2 has been revised to facilitate the introduction of the flexible train arrival point (FTAP) into the Rule Book. Section 10.3 has been revised to include arrangements for giving up a work site with an engineering train or on-track machine standing within it. The changes are intended to allow work to be undertaken for a greater proportion of the available time within a possession. A new section 11 has been added to facilitate the introduction of high output protection zones into the Rule Book. The introduction of high output protection zones into the Rule Book is intended to improve track worker safety by removing the need for possession support staff to go trackside to place standard possession protection, and to result in improved productivity on each occasion that a high output train is used.
