WORKING OF GOODS AND MINERAL TRAINS BETWEEN HIGH
STREET JUNCTION AND PEL W JUNCTION.
Up Trains from West of High Street Junction.
Light engines and engines with vans attached, also Goods and Mineral
trains not having work to do at the Park Lane and Boro Gardens sidings,
must be run over the passenger lines to Felling or Pelaw Junction when this
can be done without interfering with the passenger traffic or when goods
lines are blocked, and drivers of such engines or trains must give two whistles
on approaching the High Street Junction signal-box.
The signalman at Felling will decide whether Goods or Mineral trains sent
from High Street Junction on the passenger lines are to be turned on to the
Goods lines at his box or to be allowed to continue on the passenger lines
throughout, every care being taken to avoid detention to passenger traffic.
Down Trains.
Down Goods and Mineral trains going to the Team Valley or Dunston
direction, North or to West of Central, which have not to call at Park Lane,
may be run on the passenger line from Pelaw Junction, Felling, St. James'
Bridge, or High Street Junction, when permission has been obtained from
the Park Lane Junction signalman for this to be done, and when it can
be done without delay to passenger traffic.
Should the signalman at Park Lane Junction require to run a train from
the Down Goods to Down Main line for beyond High Street whilst the Down
Goods line is occupied between Park Lane Junction and High Street, he
must ascertain that the High Street signalman can give it a clear run.
To enable the signalman to arrange this, the following whistles must be
given by drivers as they approach the Felling Station box :—
No. of Whistles.
Long. Short. Long.

Unless the signal is then given indicating that the goods line is clear up
to St. James' Bridge Junction, the train must not pass Felling Station until
the signalman there has been given clearly to understand the destination of
the train and that it is not required to call at Park Lane or Boro' Gardens.
In some cases it will be possible to send Mineral trains for Boro' Gardens
(from Felling Station) via the passenger line and Park Lane Junction, and
the trainmen must therefore when stopped at Felling give the signalman
there particulars of their load, etc.
Trains proceeding on the Goods lines to St. James' Bridge must repeat the
whistle at the signals there..
Should a train from any of these directions be brought to a stand at the
Pelaw Junction signals, the same whistles must be given. This will sometimes
enable the Pelaw Junction signalman to obtain permission and run
trains via the passenger lines when the goods lines are blocked east of Felling.
