Rule Book

Line Supplements

As you may know, we have been working under a 'new Rule Book' for half a year now without any up-to-date line supplements! Somewhat tricky when there is so much stuff specific to each line.

Wrong Direction? Wrong Rules!

It seems that we all continue to ignore the new Rule Books, preferring to stick to procedures that we know are safe. For instance, earlier this week, during the signal failure on the District line, a driver needed to do a Wrong Direction Move near Dagenham East - and naturally, needed the station supervisor to give him authorisation to do so. Never mind that under the new 'Rules' the SS no longer has any role in a WDM: we all know it's not safe without that form.

Bye Bye Second Right

Management now seem set on withdrawing the 'second right' in certain circumstances - if the train has in-cab CCTV and/or the station has PED doors. Management intend that this come into effect when the new rule book is issued.
