GERT8000-TW7 Iss 9

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

Sections 1.1, 4.1 and 4.2 have been amended to change the role ‘pilotman’ to ‘pilot’ and  to remove gender specific language. Likewise, section 4.2 has been amended to change ‘manned crossing’ to ‘manually controlled crossing’ to remove gender-specific language.

Section 1.2 and section 3 have been changed to state that movements to a location which might be difficult to identify, such as when not up to a signal, should be authorised initially only as far as a clearly identifiable location, similar to the rules surrounding Emergency Special Working. On reaching that location, the driver will ask for further instructions.
