Such as? I believe there is a new idea about Wrong Direction Movement; the new concept is in all cases tp carry on to the next station. No change there yet, except that it now needs to be authorised by the Service Manager, and that the rear tripcock does not need to be cut out. Any points will still need to be secured and an Operating Official (as the person in charge) is still requied, to walk from the station in the rear, after ensuring that adequate protection and handsignalmen have been appointed. Are the changed rules about wrong direction movement anything to do with report RAIB issued into the incident at High St Ken on 29 Apr 2006. Seems as though many involved were pretty clueless about the old procedures. http://tinyurl.com/2w49l6 Paul More or less.... YES! Also Station Supervisors MUST now be familiarised in the areas that they are qualified to work (also following an incident with Traction Current, a one-under and the London Ambulance Service). I don't know how far LUL have got so far in starting this. Eventually they want this new Connect Radio to replace a lot of work done by Secure Telephones and Station Supervisors..... but the system is not very good and potentially a deathtrap for mis-communication. Regarding the incident at High Street Kensington. Communication and geographically knowledge were key factors in my opinion. Also a Duty Manager went by road to High Street, when they should have walked along the track, after affording adequate protection. |
