Consultation description

The draft guidance is intended to help interpret the Railway Safety Regulations 1999 and other legal requirements relevant to train protection systems. It aims to reflect the current technology and safety expectations around modern technologies that underpin train protection on Great Britain’s railways and metro systems.

The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) welcomes feedback on the content of the guidance and views on how helpful it will be as an aid to manage the migration to modern signalling systems.

The guidance provides a resource for anyone involved in the design, management and operation of train protection systems, including train operators and infrastructure managers.
