As a further precaution during the hours of relaying, the
_Green_ Signal is to be shown at Crick, and by the Policeman
stationed at Hillmorton Ballast Pit, as notice to the
Drivers in either direction to shut off the steam.
On the approach of a Train to either entrance, the Policeman
on duty is to sound the Telegraph Bell, whereupon the
Policeman at the other end will respond by sounding his
Bell; and immediately after telegraph “_Line clear_,” or
“_Line blocked_,” as the case may be.
If the answer be “_Line clear_,” the Train is to be allowed
to enter the Tunnel, the Policeman at the entrance
telegraphing back to the other end “_Train in_,” whereupon
he will not again telegraph, or allow any Engine to enter
the Tunnel, until he receives Telegraph Notice from the
other end “_Train out_.”
The same process and precaution is to be observed with every
Train that may arrive, and no Signal is to be considered
received and understood until responded to.
Whichever end first rings the bell to announce the approach
of a Train, that Train is to have the precedence, and a
Train arriving at the other end is to be kept clear of the
Crossing Points until the first announced Train has passed,
when, after telegraphing “_Train out_,” and getting the
response from the other end, the Policeman at that end will
ring his bell as notice that he has a Train waiting to
enter, which is to be allowed to proceed after passing the
Signals as before described.
Three Policemen are also to be stationed in the Tunnel, with
Fog Signals and Hand Lamps, to signal the Trains as they
pass through; and one additional at each entrance, to assist
in the Signals and crossing the Trains.
The Drivers are to be strictly enjoined to approach the
Tunnel with caution, as a Train may be standing outside, and
on passing through they are to be prepared to bring their
Train to a stand, should it be necessary to stop
unexpectedly.
