CHECK THIS Accidental train division and can't recouple...... what lights do you place on the divided portion: 1. Front 2. Rear
1. White 2. Red Note that detonator protection is NO LONGER REQUIRED
31
If you are the assisting train entering a section to remove the rear of a divided train...... what does the signaller tell you (3) and what max speed would you enter the section at?
Signaller tells you 1. Exact location of the divided portion 2. Colour of light displayed on the divided portion (White front, red rear) 3. Authority to pass the signal at danger to enter the section Caution, max speed 25mph
32
If you are entering a section to remove the rear of a divided train, what is the maximum speed?
Caution, max 25mph
33
If your train has failed and you can't contact the signaller, when would you carry out emergency protection in the rear? (2)
Emergency Special Working, or TBW.... .... is in place
34
After laying emergency protection you must return back to your train, unless.....?
You still haven't been able to contact the signaller, in which case you carry on as far as necessary until you have done so
35
If you have had to lay emergency protection following a train failure (I.e. you haven't spoken to the signaller and you are in a TBW or ESW area), why might you stay at the emergency protection point instead of returning to your train?
You have spoken to the signaller and because of poor visibility it is best for you to remain where you are and wait for the assisting train to arrive (hand danger signal required)
36
Assistance protection, detonators are no longer required. What is the new procedure?
Failed train puts either red or white light on whichever end the assisting train will arrive from Signaller informs failed driver that the assisting train is ready to enter the section Signaller creates a 3 way GSM-R call and failed driver informs assisting driver of the exact location If the visibility is poor AND the signaller can't create the 3 way call, the failed driver must travel 300 metres from train and display a red flag ---- Assisting train proceed at Caution, max 25mph, radio not to be used during movement
37
If your train has failed and the visibility is poor AND the signaller can't create a 3 way GSM-R call, you will have to leave your cab..... and do what? (What about a signal, and a tunnel entrance?)
Travel 300 metres in the direction the assisting train will arrive and display a hand danger signal when it arrives OR Travel to a SIGNAL that is less than 300 metres away providing the signaller confirms that the signal is protecting your train..... and display a hand danger signal when the assisting train arrives & Travel to a TUNNEL ENTRANCE that is less than 300 metres away..... and display a hand danger signal when the assisting train arrives
38
If you are the assisting train, it is poor visibility and the signaller can't create a 3 way GSM-R call..... it has been determined that the failed driver is meeting you (no dets, just a danger handsignal), what must you do if 1. You approach a tunnel? 2. The driver is not at the point you have been told?
1. Only enter the tunnel if you have picked up the driver, or you know for certain that the failed driver is not in the tunnel and that the tunnel is clear 2. Stay at the location and wait for the failed driver to arrive
39
If you are the failed driver and because of poor visibility and the signaller can't create a 3 way GSM-R call..... it was decided that you still walk 300 metres and show a hand danger signal to the assisting driver (no dets required).... what do you say to the driver when you get in the cab?
Exact location of the failed train
40
Can you accept a yellow handsignal at a signal as authority to pass it?
Only if 1. You have stopped your train and the handsignaller has given you the instructions 2. The signaller or Pilot has already instructed you to obey the handsignaller
41
Would you temporary isolate the TPWS during single line working?
No....unless you have to pass two or more consecutive signals at danger
42
If you have been given authority to pass a main signal at danger, do you ignore position light signals?
Yes, unless the signaller tells you to stop at it (whatever aspect is displayed)
43
What are the two new conditions...... regarding a Competent Person...... when you can start a journey with a defective GSM-R radio?
1. Competent Person is in an alternative cab with an operative radio (as long as that person can keep in direct comms with the driver) 2. The signaller has given you permission to travel to a location where a Competent Person will be provided to complete as above
44
When, if possible, should you avoid using the sanding equipment? (3)
Near to points/crossings If travelling at less than 12mph (unless trying to pull away) When at a stand (unless trying to pull away)
45
If, because it relates to the immediate movement of your train, you decide to use the GSM-R radio whilst on the move..... what must you have done beforehand to ensure you keep full control of the train during the movement?
Reduce the speed
46
If a Competent Person is in another cab listening out for radio messages because there is a defective radio in the leading cab..... what does the Competent Person do if an emergency call is received?
Operate the emergency plunger and listen to the message Then.... Relay all messages to the driver
47
What is the difference between a TPWS activation and a TPWS intervention?
TPWS activation = The TPWS overspeed grids kick in but the driver had made prior positive action by braking beforehand TPWS intervention = The driver had not made any braking attempt and the grids kicked in to prevent a certain SPAD
48
If you've had an EBA that has caused you to come to a stand, what must you do before continuing?
Report it to the signaller
49
If you are propelling, what must you do before moving off and in which cab would you do this?
Temporary isolate the TPWS - in the active cab
50
If you've had to temporary isolate the TPWS, what must you remember to do before you leave your train? (Other than the obvious restoring it back to normal)
Add an entry into the Repair Book to say about the tag being broken
51
If you have Temporary Isolated the TPWS, what happens if you take your key out?
The switch reverts back to Normal, so you would have to temporary isolate TPWS again
52
If the GSM-R is off, how can you get it to come on?
Press the register button for 2 seconds
53
What sort of things can you do to reduce the risk of having a SPAD?

Make 1 attempt to reset If the reset was unsuccessful (no power, line light remains unlit), then..... 1. Drop the Pantograph, coast to a suitable location, report to the sigaller 2. Drop the Pantographs, stop immediately (because you can't hear if there's damage being caused further down your train), report to the signaller
56
Damaged OLE section: If the signaller has asked you to establish whether it is safe for trains on the affected line to proceed.... what must be checked? (4)
1. No more than 2 consecutive droppers have come off 2. The object or defect is more than 3 OLE structures away from a tunnel or bridge 3. Any obstruction is not more than 6 inches below the contact wire 4. No other defect is obvious
57
What is an Overhead Line Permit?

When approaching signals, call out the aspect and if it is restrictive then advise the CP you are braking accordingly Approaching speed restriction board, call out that you are braking accordingly
62
If a signal is difficult to see due to foliage but you can still see it..... do you need to stop and report immediately?
No.... but report to the signaller at the earliest opportunity

68
AWS Sign - AWS cancelling indicator where permanent AWS magnet is installed?
St Andrews flag (blue background and a white cross)
69
How does the TPWS Overspeed Stop System work?
Train passes over the Arming Loop and this starts an internal timer If the train passes over Trigger Loop within a designated time it indicates that the train is speeding.... causing an EBA
70
What distance would you keep your lights as they are when making a Wrong Direction Movement?
If the move is under 400 metres
71
3 car (1 pan) and the ADD has operated..... what do you do?
Pan Down Stop immediately Contact the signaller Follow instructions

73
If the line light goes out, when can you continue normally?
You Pan Up reset and regain power and the line light is restored There is no damage to the OLE and the ADD has not activated
74
If there is MORE THAN 1 PANTOGRAPH in use on the train and you lose your line light, the first thing you would do is Pan Up Reset. If this is unsuccessful, is the risk more or less than if you were driving with just 1 pantograph in use?
The risk is greater because you won't be able to hear if any damage is being caused by a pantograph towards the end of the train..... so you would Pan Down, Stop, and contact the signaller If you only had one Pantograph in use you would still Pan Down, but you could coast to a suitable location before contacting the signaller HOWEVER IF THERE IS DAMAGE TO THE OLE, OR IF THE ADD HAS OPERATED.... YOU WOULD STOP IMMEDIATELY

If you are driving a 730 and snow is falling, what feature must you activate and when would you do this?
Snow brake (this will keep the brake discs and pads warm and means you don't have to do any running brake tests) Apply the snow brake only when at a stand
85
If you are crossing the line, what distance from a train must you keep clear? What must you do if you can't keep that distance clear?
15 metres If it's not possible to keep this distance clear, you must keep at least 2 metres (6 feet) distance clear, and be able to see clearly into the driving cab to ascertain there is no driver present
86
If you have been asked to carry out a controlled test stop, what must you make sure of in respect of the next signal?
Ensure that the next signal is showing a proceed aspect. This is to reduce the chance if having a SPAD if you do slip through due to poor railhead conditions
87

Contact the signaller and request that the signal is cleared. When the signal is cleared, close and re-open the desk and this will clear the fault light
88
Enhanced TPWS panel - what happens with an AWS late to cancel?
EBA initiated - Secure the train in Step 3 AWS indicator will flash yellow AWS horn sounds continuously Acknowledge by pressing the AWS button AWS indicator will turn to a steady yellow AWS horn goes off Report to the signaller To gain brake release following permission: After 60 seconds since you pressed the AWS button.....

75 miles
96
What is the maximum speed if AWS AND TPWS is isolated? With a CP and then without....
With a CP = 60mph Without a CP = 40mph
97
Why do you get an AWS magnet at a semaphore Distant signal?
To remind the driver that one, or both, the Home Signal or the Section signal is at danger (I.e. if the section is clear then you get a bell, otherwise you'd get a horn and yellow/black visual indicator)
98
Why are the Distant and IBH signals track circuited in an Intermediate Block section?
Because it would not be possible for the signaller to physically pull off the signals otherwise, as it would be too far a distance for them to do it
99
If you have to drive from other than the leading cab because driving controls are defective, which cab should you drive from?
Another forward facing cab (You can drive from a rear cab, however your sighting of signals and the shunter is more restrictive so it's not preferable)
100
What do you have to be careful about when travelling on a bi-directional line?
Not to exceed the normal linespeed for that line
101
How are AHBC level crossings controlled?
By track treadles - when the train passes over it the barriers close (At Charlemont R/G crossing, the train passes over treadles which sounds an alarm at the crossing that a train is approaching.... the second set of treadles locks the barriers in the down position)
102
Why might you get a Wrong Direction speed indicator at a level crossing controlled by track treadles?
Because it slows the train down so that when it goes over the treadles it gives enough time for the pedestrian alarm to sound, and then the second set of treadles for the barriers to lock in the down position (This is because in the correct direction the treadles are quite near to each other, so if you are travelling in the wrong direction then there isn't enough time for the correct procedure ((audible warning, then barriers lock)) to be carried out before the train is at the crossing.... so the train speed must be reduced to compensate for this)
103
Why do you have to call BTP if you've had a fatality?
So they can ascertain whether you think there was anything suspicious about it (I.e. a murder) - this will affect who deals with the aftermath of the incident and when lines can re-open again
104
What is the rule change regarding OFF Indicators?
They may now be at locations other than stations - it will continue to show OFF if the signal is displaying a proceed aspect or if the route has been set (or no indication if the signal is at danger or the route has not been set)
105
You comply with wrong direction speed restriction boards if travelling over a Level Crossing in the wrong direction. When could you increase your speed to the appropriate speed again?
As soon as the front of the train is on the crossing
106
An Acceleration Indicator (Looks like a Termination Indicator, but with an A in it) could be placed at the end of a TSR or ESR in place of the Termination Indicator. When can you increase your speed again?
As soon as the front of your train is at the Acceleration Indicator sign
107
If the windscreen is broken or obscured, and you are starting a journey away from the maintenance depot, you travel at a reduced speed. What else should you now do?
Sound the horn regularly (high-low)
108
If you are propelling, what must you do when approaching a level crossing?
Make a short blast of the horn
109
What is route proving?
It is examining the line for possible obstructions or damage. The driver will: travel at Caution: look out for any damage that may affect the safe passage of trains: check any adjacent lines as well Once clear of the section, contact the signaller to confirm the route is clear and safe
110
What is the new horn sound to use to provide an urgent warning? (I.e. if someone doesn't acknowledge your initial warning, or doesn't appear to move out of the way)
Long blast of the low tone
111
What does SAP stand for, if you've been involved in a train accident?
Secure Assess Protect
112
When can you accept a yellow handsignal as authority to pass a signal at danger? (2)
When you have also had verbal instruction from handsignaller, or If the signaller has already briefed you and advised you to obey the handsignaller's signal
113
What are the maximum speeds after passing a signal at danger?
Caution, max 15mph over points, checking they are set correctly
114
If you have been authorised to pass a signal at danger, what should you do when you see the next stop signal is displaying a proceed aspect?
Travel at the speed appropriate to that signal, unless instructed otherwise
115
In which degraded working situations are you allowed to pass over points at up to 50mph? (3)
Emergency Special Working Temporary Block Working Single Line Working (wrong direction) ONLY IF YOU'RE NOT THE FIRST TRAIN ACROSS.... otherwise it's 15mph, checking they are set correctly
116
What are the conditions for passing two signals at danger? (4)
Affected by the same fault No distant signals between Third signal showing proceed aspect No TPWS grids on second signal
117
If your train has failed, when are you required to place emergency protection?
If your train has failed within an ESW section or a TBW section, and you cannot contact the signaller immediately
118
What should you do after completing emergency protection?
When you have completed the emergency protection you must RETURN TO YOUR TRAIN, unless..... You still need to contact the signaller and you must continue as far as necessary to do so AND, in the event of failed train in an ESW or TBW section..... If there is poor visibility, and you have confirmed with the signaller that you will stay at the location of the emergency protection and display a stop handsignal to the assisting train
119
Max speed during ESW and TBW....
50mph 15mph over points ONLY IF YOU'RE THE FIRST TRAIN THROUGH, and check they are in the correct position .... otherwise it's max 50mph over points
