This document is primarily used to publish minor changes to National Operations Publications (NOPs) and has been re-issued, taking into consideration any amendments to NOPs.

This issue contains details of a change to Rule Book module GERT8000-SS2 ‘Shunting’. A new requirement has been introduced into section 4.2 to check that both facing and trailing hand-points are in the correct position before a shunting movement commences, which will prevent any movement ‘pushing through’ trailing points.

Notification is also given that GORT3056 ‘Working Manual for Rail Staff: Freight Train Operations’ and GORT3053 ‘Working Manual for Rail Staff: Handling and Carriage of Dangerous Goods’ will be withdrawn from 05 June 2021.
