incorporate into existing procedures a requirement that the limits of wrong line running be defined by controlled facing signals. At locations where facing signals are not provided, these limits should be defined by appropriate permanent notice boards.

ONTRACK does not accept the recommendation to define facing signals as a limit in the Mis60 because, due to the Mis60 being extended to incorporate crossovers, this can prevent movements being made across crossovers onto other tracks.
We believe the current instruction in the Rail Operating Code, Section 6, Instruction 5, adequately details this situation. In this situation where the incident occurred, while the start limits of the Mis60 began outside station limits, entry to these limits, however was protected by a facing signal.
