Does anyone know what a "Standard Engineering Area (SEA) is and what relevance it plays in "possession of the line for engineering work - engineers possession reminders". Also where and how to find out where they are listed in the publications?

Not sure if this is what you're after....

From the Signal Box Forum:


on the Signal Box Forum Danny Scroggins said:
EPR - Engineering Possession Reminder (A control applied to facilitate an unconditional reset of axle counters without the application of Aspect Restriction at the end of engineering work (T3, T1A, GSI13, etc))
STR - Special Train Reminder (As for EPR but with slightly different locking, used for the trains that can't be guaranteed to operate axle counters properly)
EPO - Engineering Possession Overlay (A blue shading on the screen used to indicated the extent of engineering work (only applicable when EPR is not used))
SEAs - Standard Engineering Areas (used to apply large sections of EPR and/or EPO and/or Reminders and/or SILs in standard blocks for regular engineering work)
SILs - SPAD Inhibit Longs, used to inhibit the integrated SPAD alarm on signals within engineering work where vehicles legitimately passing signals at danger, or occupation of track sections in the order required to make the alarm believe a vehicle has passed the signal at danger, might cause frequent false alarms and, as well as annoyance, may anaesthetise the signaller to the alarm.

Thank you for your help there. so it woulld appear that they only apply to work stations and would not be required for panels with EPRs. I know Danny Scroggins is the LOM for or has something to do with the Thames Valley ROC and writes their training plans which is where our managers poached a lot of forms from. Our panel doesn't have any SEA's so I can now see if I can get that column removed from our forms. Once again thank you for finding that out, as RGS online search was doing my head in.
