Study Notes
Assisted/Private Sidings
- Assisted/private sidings serve factories, mills, and industrial premises (excluding collieries and mining areas) via special agreements.
- A list of assisted/private sidings is published in local tariffs, including serving station names, user firms, and charges.
- Siding agreements detail terms and conditions for operation. Railway managers provide certified copies and siding blueprints.
- Siding use is restricted to the user's needs (and related commodities). Unauthorized traffic isn't allowed without permission.
- Sidings are typically open for wagon-load traffic, including local and through bookings.
- Subletting sidings is forbidden without railway administration approval. The permission specifics are documented.
- Wagons/vehicles are moved to and from sidings, often with the user's own equipment, adhering to terms.
- Railway wagons/vehicles are placed at an interchange point, and the siding owner is notified.
Siding Vouchers
- Siding vouchers, printed in two parts (record & user), are numbered.
- Vouchers are written in ink only. Incorrect vouchers are cancelled and retained.
- Station masters initiate vouchers upon wagon/vehicle placement. The user or rep signs to confirm receipt.
- Vouchers are processed similarly for removal.
- Charges are calculated based on trips, with separate vouchers for each. "Light engine" trips are noted.
Demurrage Charges
