Introduction

This Track Work instruction covers walking routes and their maintenance.

Some Authorised Walking Routes may be close to or across railway lines that is used by people to reach their normal place of work or booking-on point. Although all staff using this type of route must be briefed on the potential hazards, they do not have to be passed as competent in PTS.

Authorised Walking Routes will be listed in the Local Policy Statement. (Health and Safety at Work Act).

Other types of walking route, usually found at the lineside, enable access to parts of the railway that are frequently visited. They would include trackside paths that may be:

• Many miles long

• Very short - to perhaps a location cabinet

• Areas at signals to enable train drivers to reach signal post telephones

Users of these routes must hold valid track safety certification. The specification for the size, location and construction of new routes is laid down in Railway Group Standard GC/RT/5203.
