GERT8000-TW5 Iss 14

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.

This Rule Book module has been updated due to changes in technology, updates to rolling stock standards and the need for clarity in certain areas. A new section was created for the driver machine interface (DMI). As a consequence, sections were renumbered. Other sections subject to change: Automatic Warning System (AWS), brake defects, driver’s safety device (DSD), driving cab windows or side glazing – broken or obscured, European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) equipment, hot axlebox detector (HABD) and axle bearings, on-train data recorder (OTDR), selective door operation, speedometer, train radio equipment, vehicles with locked wheels, wheel flats, shifted tyres or dragging brakes, and warning horn.
