Network Rail Standards

[surveyor]

I am trying to get hold of a Network Rail standards document with the reference NR/SMS/Part Z/Z04 section 6.

I see some of these can be bought, but have failed to even find this.

Any suggestions folks?

Looks like the whole of part z can be bought here:

Thanks

Ouch. $68!

I'll see if my FOI has any joy first.

This is in relation to a sounder on a level crossing which they say is tested to this standard. I'm keen to see if the standard makes any allowances for local variances.

Along with the fact that it is still sounding at 23:46 in the night time quiet period...

Yes I know these must be pretty annoying for some. Often the level crossings are out in the open where it's not a problem, but occasionally they are literally smack bang on the housing estate.

You'd be surprised how far a letter to Network Rail might get you. Several areas I work we have to keep noise to an absolute minimum due to local complaints.

You will find the yodel will always sound , day or night. But can be turned down for night time.

Day time should be 60 to 80db normally at the higher end but each crossing is assessed on an individual bases, as has been said wright an email to NR if you think it’s excessive at night.

Thanks - this is my current mission. No-one seems to be listening though. Currently they have just said it's to standard, ignoring that it can be adjusted for local variables, especially at night.

It's not the most up to date version - although I suspect that nothing will have changed that affects the sounder...

Title should be "NR/SMS/Part/Z"

Can't attach it via PH so have emailed you my details

Nothing has changed in the most up to date version (compliance date 06/06/20)

Issue 14 is the latest

Thanks folks.

Will get on with some more moaning. Might go the CEO as I think neighborhood relations team are there to fob neighbours off.
