Single Line Working Flashcards
What is the principle of single line working? P1-1 (1)
When one line of a double line becomes blocked, single line working by Pilotman allows trains to travel over the other line in either direction.
How do you identify a Pilotman? P1-2.1 (1)
Red armlet, with Pilotman in white letters.
Before SLW can take place, what must you agree with the Pilotman? P1-2.2.1 (2)
Arrangements that are to apply.
The time when Pilotman SLW form (RT3191) will be completed.
If they will be affected by SLW, what arrangements must you remind the Pilotman about? P1-2.2.2 (7)
Controlled level crossings which are protected by signals.
Automatic level crossings.
Barrow or foot crossings with white light indicators.
Unworked points.
Intermediate Signalboxes which are closed and what time they will open.
Any ESR or TSR.
Whether obstructed line has T3/line blockage/failed train.
What must you make sure of, with points that are worked or released from your signal box, if there are facing movements? P1-2.2.3 (1)
You must make sure they are secured for the safety of facing movements if they are not fitted with a FPL.
At the agreed time, what must the Pilotman make sure of before they can complete and sign their Pilotman’s SLW form? P1-2.3 (1)
That the line to be used for SLW is clear.
When must you complete a Signaller’s SLW form (RT3192)? P1-2.4 (1)
When the Pilotman dictates the form to you.
Wherever possible, how must you control movements in the right direction? P1-3.4 (1)
You must arrange for signals on the unobstructed line to be worked normally, wherever possible.
When controlling movements in the wrong direction, who must you give instructions to? P1-3.5.1 (1)
You must control trains in the wrong direction by giving instructions to the Pilotman, and to handsignallers if appointed.
When controlling movements in the wrong direction, who must you tell if the instructions for the train movement have already been given to the Driver? P1-3.5.1 (1)
You must tell the handsignaller.
When returning back to the proper line, if provided, where would the handsignaller be positioned? P1-3.5.2 (1)
Opposite the home signal at the Signalbox which controls the crossover back to the proper line.
What colour of handsignal is displayed by handsignaller for trains returning back to the proper line? P1-3.5.2 (1)
Yellow.
What colour of handsignal is used when there’s an attendant on duty at AHBC, RC, OD or CCTV level crossing? P1-3.5.2 (1)
Green.
When does a handsignaller not need to be appointed for trains returning back to the proper line? P1-3.5.3 (2)
There is a main line signal at the crossover, or
Pilotman travels on every train.
When do you not need to position a handsignaller at an intermediate Signal Box that is open? P1-3.5.3 (1)
