Introduce measures to ensure that where two trolleys/HRVs, operating under Rule 198 and Rule 199, are authorised to occupy a particular section of track at a common time each must be given full particulars of the other's position and progress before the second is authorised to "on-track" and that where contact cannot be made with the first, adequate steps are taken to safeguard its progress before the second is permitted to "on-track".
