Ask the NCO to stop approaching traffic and set signals at STOP with blocking facilities applied.
If in Track Circuited Territory: fasten a track circuit shortening clip to the heads of the rails of the adjacent or obstructed line, confirm the affected signals show STOP.
Get an assurance that other trains in the sections have been stopped, place 3 ATWDs on affected adjacent lines 500m from obstructing train and 2 ATWDs a further 2000m in the direction of possible approach.
