OFFICIALHELP on using this Compendium of SignalBox Opening Times The following pages, split to the 10 Network Rail Routes, list all the signal boxes, crossing boxes and signalling centres and their respective opening times (i.e. times they are manned) The signalbox lists are split into two. The first section lists those signalboxes which are not manned continuously throughout the week. These are shown by Timetable Planning Rules section, with the rule split if the opening hours are different sections of the route. They are also shown in signalbox order if there are five or more boxes on the route. The second section lists all the locations that are open continuously and are listed in alphabetical order within each Route. In some circumstances the route could be open for longer than the signalbox hours show, as the boxes can be switched out and boxes either end are open continuously, an example of this Carnforth to Barrow in Furness.

HELP on using this Compendium of SignalBox Opening Times

The following pages, split to the 10 Network Rail Routes, list all the signal boxes, crossing boxes and signalling centres and their respective opening times (i.e. times they are manned)

The signalbox lists are split into two. The first section lists those signalboxes which are not manned continuously throughout the week. These are shown by Timetable Planning Rules section, with the rule split if the opening hours are different sections of the route. They are also shown in signalbox order if there are five or more boxes on the route.

The second section lists all the locations that are open continuously and are listed in alphabetical order within each Route.

In some circumstances the route could be open for longer than the signalbox hours show, as the boxes can be switched out and boxes either end are open continuously, an example of this Carnforth to Barrow in Furness.

If a location is open continuously (either 24/7 or over a number of days the word 'continuous' is shown until a relevant closing time is displayed.

The 'Comments' box at the end shows relevant comments for each location (where appropriate) including whether it can be switched out or if the opening is funded, in part, by any Operators.

When using this Compendium the user must ensure they also refer to the relevant Section 2.2 (Route Opening Hours) of the Route Timetable Planning Rules

For clarity:-The Route Opening Hours are the Contractual hours for which any specified line of route between two points is available for the operation of trains. The Signal Box Opening Times are the times at which any specified Signal Box (all types) is manned, usually reflective of the Working Timetable requirements.
