Rules and procedures
Not Specified
A signaller would like to highlight what he believes to be an increased safety risk following recent Network Rail briefings on handling crossing users. In accordance with the Rule Book, signallers are expected to ask users of "large, low or slow-moving‟ vehicles to phone back once safely on the other side. But the reporter is concerned about the procedure for those in vehicles that do not meet the above definition and are not listed in the Rule Book. This is a nationwide issue.

The written instructions on signs at user worked crossings are highlighted as a fairly common concern amongst signallers working at many locations across the country. The reporter, a signaller himself, believes a lack of clear written instructions in front of crossing users may import considerable safety risk, especially for unfamiliar users who are travelling in a vehicle and need permission to cross. He would want to know what the instructions in front of the user actually say, and whether they are in fact consistent at different locations.
