Part A - Foreword
A1 Introduction
This document contains new and previously published amendments to National

the document concerned.
A2 Scope

Publications. However, it may also be used to publish material changes that have already
been consulted on but do not justify the reissue of a Rule Book module and / or handbook.
A3 Implementation
The publication date of this document is 07 June 2014. The changes to the publications
listed within this document in Part C come into force on 07 June 2014.
A4 Technical content
The technical content of this document has been approved by Steve Roberts, Principal,
Operations, RSSB. Enquiries should be directed to RSSB by e-mail to
[email protected].
A5 Definitions
Material change
Where duty holders are required by a Railway Group Standard to do something physically
different.
Minor change
A minor change comprises of one of the following:
 Typographical errors or changes to administrative details such as telephone
numbers, or
 Changes for the purpose of clarification, where there is negligible potential for
misinterpretation which diminishes safety, or
 Changes to operational documents affecting only one duty holder, provided that the
duty holder consents to those changes.
