What actions will the driver of the disabled train take? |
When a train in possession of a train authority becomes disabled, the driver must: - declared the train to be disabled - dictate a DRA to the train controller stating the location, length and weight of the train, if the train is a DMU and the number of carriages - confirm the direction from which the relief train will approach - secure the train - carry out the cab unattended procedure - take a form of off train communication - take a red hand signal - protect the disabled train in the direction the relief train will arrive by - inform the train controller that the disabled train is protected The train controller will then dictate a train authority to the signaller at the end of the section from which the relief train will enter. The train authority will be endorsed with the number and destinations stated on the original train authority held by the driver of the disabled train as well as stating to which end of the section the disabled train is to be taken. The signaller will issue the train authority to the driver of the relief train who must sign the butt of the signaller’s form. If the relief train is at an unattended location the train controller will dictate the train authority directly to the driver of the relief train. |
