What is the limit of authority with a Shunt order in UGL if no shunt limit signs are present?

The limit of authority with a Shunt order in a Unattended Goods Location (UGL) occurs at a Yard limit sign if no shunt limit signs are present. This is because the Yard limit sign indicates the boundary within which shunting activities can be safely conducted. It designates the area where trains can manoeuvre freely, provided that the appropriate safety protocols are followed.

In the absence of specific shunt limit signs, the Yard limit becomes the definitive boundary that governs shunting operations. The implementation of the Yard limit sign ensures that movement is controlled and that the risk of accidents is minimized, providing a clear understanding for operators about where shunting can and cannot take place. This focus on the Yard limit is crucial for maintaining safety in the UGL environment, ensuring that all shunting actions remain within designated zones.
