responsible for controlling the area where you are, so where necessary, you must arrange
for the signaller to speak to the ECO on your behalf.

room, for example Cathcart ECO, and secondly under ‘ECR’.

select from the menu. or
by dialling the full 8-digit fixed terminal number published in the Sectional Appendix.

responsible for controlling the area where you are, so where necessary, you must arrange
for the signaller to speak to the Operations Controller on your behalf.
The Operations Controller may be listed twice in the Phonebook, firstly under the
name of the control office, for example, ‘Scotland Operations Control’, and secondly
under ‘Operations Control’, for example, ‘Operations Control Scotland’.

power or braking except in an emergency).
Assistance in the rear to failed locomotive-hauled or multiple unit trains.
