Create an Emergency Speed Restriction

Top Section 

 

 Reference Number (refnum) 

 Each ESR has a reference number which will be added when you Impose. It is constructed as follows; 

 XXXX nnn{a}.yy 

 XXXX = Route specific prefix (AICC = Anglia, etc) 

 nnn = Annual sequence number, starts over at 001 each year on 1st January 

 yy = two digit year, e.g. 24 

 a = the amendment (if any), A, B, C, etc 

 AICC 123B.24 is the 123rd restriction of 2024 on the Anglia route and has been amended twice. 

 Top Level Information 

 

 Engineers Line Reference (ELR) – Select from the available list (type the ELR code to filter). We do not limit the selection of ELR based on the Route. Be careful to choose the correct ELR! 

 

 Location -- see below 

 

 

 Line of Route – once you have selected the Location the options are reduced. In most cases there's only one possible LOR at each Location. 

 

 Speed – use the standard format and select MPH or KPH – e.g. “40/60” or “50” 

 Line Speed (optional) - record the normal Line Speed at this location. 

 

 Location 

 The "Location" gives the driver a familiar place for the start of the restriction . We offer a set of standard Locations based on the selected ELR. In some cases these locations might be quite far apart so choose the "between" option. 

 If there's a Location you wish to add please email us at help@nrsdb.uk - we will need the Location Name, ELR, LOR and Mileage. 

 Reference Fields 

 These fields can be changed later without needing to issue an amendment since they are internal Network Rail properties. 

 

 Delivery Unit (required) – select from the available list, each Controller is associated with a specific Route so the options here are particular to that Route 

 

 Reason (required) – select appropriate reason code 

 

 Fault# (required) – FMS or MyIM reference. Can enter multiple references separated by space 

 CCIL (required) – seven numeric characters - must be completed 

 TDA 

 TSR – reference to a TSR when it is converted to ESR 

 WO 

 Defect No 

 TRUST Code 

 

 Owner 

 

 

 Line Cards 

 Use the Add Board form to record the position of the various Boards. You must specify the Speed Indicator and Termination boards, other boards are encouraged. 

 This section remains locked until you have completed the essential References. 

 

 You must define the Speed Indicator first. The ELR for this MUST match that selected in the Top Section and so this field is locked. 

 First select the appropriate TrackID (e.g. 2100: Down Main). If there is only one valid option it will be selected automatically.  

 

 The next fields are the Description and Direction. We attempt to give sensible defaults based on the selected TrackID but you can override them where necessary. BUT be sure to do this while defining the Speed Indicator. 

 There is three variants of Speed Indicator (select from Speed Indicator (Commencement), Speed Indicator + RH Arrow, or Speed Indicator + LH Arrow) and give the Miles and Chains, click Add Board. 

 Repeat for the Termination Board. 

 Now add other boards. 

 Remarks Section 

 There are two optional fields for adding comments. 

 "Notes to Drivers" will appear on the Notice that is used by Operating companies.
