Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

Executive Summary: This document contains amendments to the Metro Railways General Rules, 2013, concerning single-line operations in metro railway systems. These amendments, titled the Metro Railways General Amendment Rules, 2015, outline specific procedures for adopting single-line working in various scenarios, including normal operations and when obstructions occur. The rules were published in the Official Gazette on May 15, 2015, and came into force on the same date. Key Points / Main Content: Single Line Working Adoption: * Single Line working shall be adopted in specific situations including normal operation and obstructions. * Normal operation shall be adopted when the signaling system permits operation in both directions. * When there is an obstruction, train services may continue on the adjacent line using single line working. Implementation Procedures: * For normal single line or twin single lines operation, trains shall operate under the authority of cab signals (Coded Manual or Automatic Mode). * In case of cab signal failure, trains may run under Restricted Manual Mode, Run On Site Mode, or Cut Out Mode, under Special Instructions. * For obstructed lines, the Traffic Controller, after consulting with the Chief Controller, decides to implement single line working. * Trains will be dispatched in groups in one direction, followed by groups in the opposite direction, at intervals determined by the Traffic Controller. * The Traffic Controller must inform the Station Controller at each station in the single line section before a train passes in the reverse direction. * Trains operate under normal signaling, including Automatic Train Operation, in the normal direction. * In the reverse direction, trains operate under Automatic or Coded Manual Mode. Other Modes may also be used under Special Instructions. * When restoring normal working, the Traffic Controller informs each Station Controller of the last train to pass in the reverse direction. Signaling Failures: * In the event of a track-side signaling equipment failure requiring Restricted Manual operation, single-line working under subrule 2 of rule 64 shall be suspended immediately. * Trains may still pass through the section in the normal direction after the defect is repaired. Impact Analysis: Traffic Controller: * Impact: Responsible for deciding and implementing single line working procedures, managing train movements, and communicating with Station Controllers and Train Operators. * Action Required: Implement single-line working procedures as outlined, communicate effectively with Station Controllers and Train Operators, and ensure safe and efficient train operations. Station Controllers: * Impact: Responsible for monitoring platform crowding, informing passengers, and coordinating with the Traffic Controller. * Action Required: Closely monitor platform crowding, inform passengers of changes, and take necessary measures to direct passengers and manage station entrances. Train Operators: * Impact: Responsible for operating trains according to the implemented single line working procedures and instructions from the Traffic Controller. * Action Required: Follow Traffic Controller's instructions, operate trains in the designated modes, and be aware of the location and direction of the single-line working.

(1) These Rules may be called the Metro Railways General (Amendment), Rules, 2015. (2) They shall come into force on the date of their publication in the Official Gazette. 2. In the Metro Railways General Rules, 2013, in rules 63, 64 and 65, the following rules shall be substituted, namely:— 63. Adoption of Single Line Working in certain cases.—Single Line working shall be adopted in the following situations, namely:— (1) Normal operation on a Single line or on Twin Single Lines shall be adopted when the signaling system permits operation in both directions, and such operation shall be carried out as per procedure specified under sub-rule (i) of rule 64. (2) When there is an obstruction on a portion of line between any two stations on one of the running lines, the train services may be continued in the affected section on the adjacent line in both directions using single line working on the unaffected track, and such single line working shall be operated in the manner as specified under sub-rule (2) of rule 64. 64. Implementation.—(1) For the purpose of normal operations on a Single line or Twin Single Lines under sub-rule (i) of rule 63, the following procedure shall be followed, namely:— (i) the train shall operate under the authority of cab signals under Coded Manual Mode or Automatic Mode (if signaling system permits) on the single line or on the respective line of twin single lines; (ii) in case of failure of cab signals under Coded Manual Mode or Automatic Mode, the trains may be allowed to run under the Restricted Manual Mode, Run On Site Mode or Cut Out Mode, under Special Instructions. (2) For the purposes of sub-rule (2) of rule 63, where a portion of a line is obstructed on any of the running lines, the Traffic Controller may, after consultation with the Chief Controller, decide to implement the single line working, in the following manner, namely:— (i) Single line working on the unaffected track shall be achieved by fleeting of trains in groups in one direction at intervals decided by the Traffic Controller followed by a group of trains in the other direction; (ii) the Traffic Controller, shall before the train passes in the reverse direction, inform to the Station Controller at each of the stations in the single line section; (iii) the Station Controllers shall also closely monitor crowding on the platform in use and prepare to close entrances to the station if overcrowding becomes dangerous; (iv) the Station Controllers at these stations shall inform passengers by visual and audible announcement and take such other measures as may be necessary to direct passengers on the correct platform; (v) the Traffic Controller shall inform the Train Operators of all trains of the location and direction of the single line working;4 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART II—SEC. 3(i)] (vi) trains shall work under normal signaling including Automatic Train Operation in the normal direction of travel and in the case of reverse direction of travel, if signaling system permits, the train shall normally work under Automatic Mode or Coded Manual Mode and other Modes like Restricted Manual Mode, Run On Site Mode or Cut Out Mode may also be used for train operation in the reverse direction of travel, under Special Instructions; (vii) when normal working is to be restored, the Traffic Controller shall inform the Station Controller at each station of the single line section, of the last train to pass the section in the reverse direction after which normal station operation shall be restored. 65. Signaling Failures.—In the event of a failure of a track side signaling equipment which makes Restricted Manual operation necessary on all trains, single line working under sub-rule (2) of rule 64 shall be suspended immediately and if necessary, train may still pass through the section in the normal direction of travel and after defect is repaired; single line working may be resumed.
