●Inquiry recommendation, 5.9.1, 5.9.2 and 5.9.4
Railway Group Standard GI/RT7004 and all Network Rail technical documents covering installation, inspection and maintenance of point flangeway gaps, including the opening at the switch toes, should be reviewed, and, where necessary, modified, in order to: • Use consistent terminology. • Remove ambiguities. • Be consistent with the dimensions contained in RT/E/C/11772. • Specify the depth and longitudinal position at which the flangeway gap dimensions are to be measured.
