GERT8001 Iss 71

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 was introduced into issue 5.1, 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. This has been further amended in issue 5.2 to state that the practice can continue where local instructions specifically allow trailing points to be pushed through.
