2 TYNI RIGNALLING The area bet ween approximately 7 rn.p. (York to Newc as t le mileage) and approximately m.p. (Newcastle t o Berwic k mileage), t o be k nown as Plessey, also bet ween Blaydon (excl.) and Park Lane Junction, will be resignalled ov er t wo weekends. The dividing line bet ween the work on t he first weekend and that for the second weekend is s hown by a heavy black line on the drawing whic h accompanies this notice. This drawing s hows the resignalling as it will be at the end of the second weekend. As t he new signalling is commis s ioned it will be controlled by the new Tyneside signal box. uring t he first week end, t he area controlled by Gateshead signal box will be transferred t o t he control of Tyneside signal box and at the end of that period Gateshead signal box will be abolished, also that part of the area controlled by Tyne Yard signal box as far south as approximately 70 rn.p. will be resignalled and control transferred t o the n e w Tyneside signal box. On the second week end, t he signal boxes at Newcastle, Heat on and Benton will be abolished and the areas of control will be transferred t o the new Tyneside signal box, also, o wn line aut omat ic signals M l, M and M (bet ween 9/ m. p. and 'A m. p. ) will be replaced by signals controlled by Tyneside signal box. etails of the links between the "o l d " and " n e w " signalling, whic h will apply after work on the first weekend until final commissioning on the second weekend, are s hown on separate drawings in this notice. Tyneside signal box will work to the existing signal boxes at Tyne Yard, Blaydon, Wardley, Boldon Colliery, News ham, and Morpeth. Ty ne Yard signal box will continue to control the main line south of approximately 7 m. p. Tyneside signal box will also work to Tyne Yard outh and North hunters cabins and t o Heat on Cont rol Tower. etails of revised track lay out and signalling are s hown on t he ac c ompany ing diagram, see also paragraph headed, " u mma r y of Track Alt erat ions ". Note: In s ome cases the existing signals are re-used wit h n e w prefix let t er and number. All distances s hown in t he diagram are in yards. The application of all running signals is to the next running signal capable of s howing a Red aspect and the new signals wit h route indications are s hown in this notice, as are details of all new Position Light signals. ignals T7 and 7, t o the north of Ouston crossovers, will not read to the o wn line at this stage. The application of the signals bet ween t. James Bridge Junction (excl.) and Pel a w are unchanged, but the signal prefix letters will be changed t o " T ". o wn underland line (p direction) fixed Yellow signal G65 will become a Yellow/Green signal plated T75R, The signalling at Heat on epot is unchanged. Method of Working The Trac k Circ uit Block Regulat ions will apply t hroughout. All running lines bet ween L o w Fell J unc t ion and Bent on J unc t ion will bec ome bi-directional lines, also the low line bet ween Birtley Junction and Low Fell Junction and the Goods line bet ween Lamesley crossover and L o w Fell Junction. ee under t he heading " u mma r y of ignalling and Track Alt erat ions " f or details of ot her lines whic h bec ome bi-direc t ionally signalled. The existing bi-directional signalling bet ween t. J ames J unc t ion and Pel a w will remain in operation, and be extended t o Park Lane Junction.
