7.3.3 Calling a signal box that has closed
If a signal box closes on a line still open to traffic, the signaller in another signal box will
normally take over the communication role of that box. In these circumstances you must
communicate with the adjacent signaller.
If you call a signal box that is closed, the call may be automatically routed to the
adjacent signaller (information concerning these locations will be published in the
Sectional Appendix), if this happens, once the call has connected the identity of the
signal box that answers the call will be displayed on the cab radio.
7.3.4 Calling a signal box or panel where the role is being managed by another signaller
There are times when the role of a GSM-R fixed terminal in a particular signal box or panel
might be taken over by another signaller such as where the fixed terminal has failed, for
instance. In these instances the signaller will identify himself in his normal role but explain
why he is answering the call.
7.3.5 Urgent point-to-point call
The urgent point-to-point call allows you to contact the signaller with a higher priority than
you would need for a normal point-to-point call for situations where you need to contact the
signaller urgently. However, the matter is not serious enough to stop other trains in the
area.

Calling Urgent
The signaller will receive a distinctive alarm to draw his attention to the urgency.
If the call failed to connect then a ‘failed to connect’
tone (same as unobtainable tone), will be played
and message displayed.
To make an urgent point-to-point call, you must
press the ‘urgent call’ (yellow) button.
The cab radio will display similar messages to
those described in section 7.3.1, except that the
display shows an urgent call and the button
flashes.
