In the realm of signal engineering within the rail industry, meticulous coordination and documentation are vital, particularly when it comes to alterations in signal equipment. The RT3187 form, updated in December 2013 and replacing its predecessor form, is at the heart of this process, providing a structured framework for communication and agreement between signallers and signalling technicians. This document is critical for orchestrating changes such as disconnections, restrictions, or taking equipment out of use, ensuring that all adjustments are systematically recorded. The form is divided into parts, covering everything from initial agreements, details of the equipment affected, and the anticipated impacts on train operations to the authorization of changes and eventual restoration or removal of equipment. Its comprehensive structure not only facilitates smooth operations during signal engineering works but also ensures safety and efficiency within rail operations. Importantly, the form acts as a record of changes made, serving as a vital tool for future reference and accountability.
