22. Every Plate-layer is to make himself duly acquainted with the code of Signals in use on the Railway, as detailed in Sections 2 and 3.
REGULATIONS FOR GUARDS AND TUNNEL BREAKSMEN AT LIME-STREET.
GOING DOWN THE TUNNEL.
1. The moment a Train arrives at Edge Hill, the Tunnel-breaksman, whose turn it is to go down the Tunnel, is to examine how many Breaks there are on the Train, and, before the Train is allowed to start, must be perfectly satisfied that the requisite number are in good working order, and must report to the Superintendent on duty that they are so.
2. The Tunnel-breaksman must see that the Guard of the Train is at his post before the Train starts.
3. No Train is, on any account, to go down the Tunnel without a Tunnel-breaksman.
4. Trains going down the Tunnel are never to be allowed to exceed in speed ten miles an hour.
5. In some instances Trains have been allowed to acquire a considerable velocity before the Breaks were applied, the Breaksman relying on the power of the Breaks to stop the Train. This practice is most strictly forbidden; at no period of the descent must the Trains be at a greater speed than ten miles an hour; the Breaks must be applied gradually, and the Breaksman must be sure at all times that he has perfect control over his speed.
6. The Guard of the Train and Tunnel-breaksman will be held equally responsible for the safety of the Train.
