GERT8001 Iss 77

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 new amendments in GERT8000-TW1 issue 18.1, GERT8000-TW4, issue 1.1 and RS524, issue 1.1. Section 1 of GERT8000-TW1, issue 18, was changed to include both a train being brought to a stand, or its speed reduced, by a brake application which the driver did not make. It has now been further changed in issue 18.1, as it was only intended to apply when a train had been stopped.

The Regulation concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Rail (RID) published in 2023 includes a change to the definition of high-consequence dangerous goods so far as class 5.1 is concerned, which has been included in a revised table at section 9.4 in GERT8000-TW4.

RID 2023 also included a number of changes to the details of UN numbers. These changes are reflected in issue 1.1 of RS524.
