GERT8000-TW5 Iss 12

You will need this module if you carry out the duties of a driver, guard, signaller or train preparer. It sets out the operational instructions to be applied when on-train equipment becomes defective. It works alongside Rail Industry Standard RIS-3437-TOM.

Section 25 has been changed to include the use of a competent person as a new mitigation measure against GSM-R radio failure in the leading cab. The changes are an alternative and will not replace other existing operational mitigations currently in place. The competent person's only task will be to initiate and receive railway emergency group calls (RECs).
